These startup instructions do some self-testing, configuring, and device initialization, and is called the BIOS. The BIOS will load into memory the next set of startup instructions, called the boot loader, which is found in the startup device stored in its configuration. The boot loader in turn loads up and executes the boot instructions of some application, usually an operating system, which performs its own startup and refreshing tasks.
