Book Description
Master the booting procedure of various operating systems with in-depth analysis of bootloaders and firmware. The primary focus is on the Linux booting procedure along with other popular operating systems such as Windows and Unix.
Hands-on Booting begins by explaining what a bootloader is, starting with the Linux bootloader followed by bootloaders for Windows and Unix systems. Next, you’ll address the BIOS and UEFI firmware by installing multiple operating systems on one machine and booting them through the Linux bootloader. Further, you’ll see the kernel’s role in the booting procedure of the operating system and the dependency between kernel, initramfs, and dracut. You’ll also cover systemd, examining its structure and how it mounts the user root filesystem. In the final section, the book explains troubleshooting methodologies such as debugging shells followed by live images and rescue mode.
On completing this book, you will understand the booting process of major operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and Unix. You will also know how to fix the Linux booting issues through various boot modes.
What You Will Learn
- Examine the BIOS and UEFI firmware
- Understanding the Linux boot loader (GRUB)
- Work with initramfs, dracut, and systemd
- Fix can’t-boot issues on Linux
Who This Book Is For
Linux users, administrators, and developers.

书名：Hands-on Booting: Learn the Boot Process of Linux, Windows, and Unix
通过对BootLoader和固件的深入分析，掌握各种操作系统的启动流程。主要关注的是Linux的引导过程以及其他流行的操作系统，如Windows和Unix。
Hands-on Booting首先解释什么是BootLoader，从Linux BootLoader开始，然后是Windows和Unix系统的BootLoader。接下来，您将通过在一台机器上安装多个操作系统并通过Linux引导程序引导它们来解决BIOS和UEFI固件问题。此外，您将看到内核在操作系统引导过程中的角色，以及内核、initramfs和Dracut之间的依赖关系。您还将介绍system d，检查它的结构以及它如何挂载用户根文件系统。在最后一节中，该书解释了故障排除方法，如调试外壳，然后是实时图像和救援模式。
读完本书后，您将了解Linux、Windows和Unix等主要操作系统的引导过程。您还将了解如何通过各种引导模式修复Linux引导问题。
你将学到什么
- 检查BIOS和UEFI固件
- 了解Linux引导加载程序(GRUB)
- 使用initramf、Dracut和system
- 修复无法在Linux上启动的问题
