The bootloader starts the OS.
What base directory would you put a script in if you wanted it to automatically start when the operating system starts?
It starts the Operating System and performs various tests as it starts up.
The boot block of any OS contains the initial loading sequence of the Operating System. It starts the process of bringing into memory the first part of the Operating System which in turn brings the rest of it in for the entire boot process. This is known as bootstrapping the Operating System.

The kernel is the core piece of software which runs the operating system. It is the lowest part of a layered operating system and closest to the hardware itself. The kernel is loaded by a process of bootloading or bootstrapping when you turn the computer on. Bootloading starts with simple programs semi hard coded in the ROM chips on the motherboard which then progress to load increasingly 'smarter' programs until the kernel loads which is the basis for your full operating system.
