Which step comes first in the boot process?

The first step in the boot process is the Power-On Self-Test (POST). When the computer is powered on, the BIOS or UEFI firmware initializes the hardware components and checks for any errors. If the POST is successful, the system then proceeds to locate and load the boot loader from the designated boot device.

Where would you find the instructions that a server users boot and includes POST and finding a drive to complete the boot process?

The instructions that a server uses to boot, including the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and drive detection, are typically found in the server's firmware, specifically in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). These firmware interfaces initialize hardware components and locate the bootable drive to load the operating system. You can access and modify these settings during the server's startup process by pressing a designated key, such as F2 or DEL, depending on the manufacturer.
