Booting LRP is where many of the differences of the different LRP variants appear. The basics are the same, however. The following steps take place:
The master boot record of the floppy is loaded by the computer's BIOS. This is part of syslinux.
The configuration file syslinux.cfg
is read and acted upon. This includes differing kernel options and
images, text screen displays, help screens, and so on.
The filesystem image is loaded — in the case of LRP, this is
root.lrp.
The appropriate kernel image is loaded — for LRP, this is the
file linux.
