Talk:Operating System Design/Initialization/Hardware

I hope you find this page useful, this information is gathered from a number of sources, including CPU manuals for a number of cpu's including but not limited to the Z80, 8086, Pentium, etc. Almost all such CPU's have a set address that they pass control to once they have done their internal check.

Assembly Language Programming Manuals, Dos Programming Manuals, even a Linux Kernel and an Linux Itanium Kernel Manual, as well as a number of books on operating system design, computer organization, and Embedded Systems design.--Graeme E. Smith (talk) 06:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

There might be some confusion about what I am trying to do here, so let me recap.

I originally wrote this section to be a stand alone section, because I saw the red link.

Then, later I looked at the complete contents page and found that there was a section on boot loaders and a section on hardware initialization. In order to harmonize my work, I want to transfer this information to hardware initialization which was red ink and redo the Initialization page so that it will include the other modules. I may choose to further subdivide this, but what I am hoping to do is to harmonize with already existing decisions about how this book should be written.--Graeme E.
