On Intel based PC systems, the BIOS firmware sets up the system and
|
|
then loads the image to be run from the boot block of a DOS file
|
|
system. This is more or less what MILO does on an Alpha based system,
|
|
however there are several interesting differences between BIOS firmware
|
|
and MILO, not least of which is that MILO includes and uses standard
|
|
Linux device drivers unmodified. MILO is firmware, unlike LILO, which
|
|
relies on the BIOS firmware to get itself loaded.
