Bootup Sequence
===============

When the system boots, the bootloader will look for a kernel image and init ram
disk. It will do some basic setup, load these into memory and hand over control.
Since kern uses a µ-kernel, it only contains the minimal number of device
drives that it must. One of these is a ramfs/tmpfs driver. It uses this driver
to load and execute a program at '/init' inside the initrd as process 1. This
process is then responsable for running things like a disk & filesystem server
that loads the actual OSes root filesystem. Usually it would also replace
iself with '/sbin/init' from the root filesystem that would finish initialization
and do things like launching a login shell, etc.
