residing in the first sector of the mbr.
mbr is 512 bytes in size.(master boot record)
mbr then load the first stage of bootloader its all job to
load 2nd stage bootloader into the memory.
3-when 2nd stage bootloader will load into the memory you

entry like redhat server rhel5.4 and other os like others.
4-2nd stage bootloader will determine which kernal is to
load ,then it will load corresponding kernal binary into the
memory.
kernal will load the initial ram disk image into the memory
called initrd in to the memory.
initrd load the basic driver to start the os.
once initrd load it transfer the control to the kernal .

hardware attached to it. and in order to setup user
environment it start init program.
