BOOT LOADER

Types of boot loader:
1. GNU GRUB (GNU Grand unified boot loader):It provides a user to choose to boot one of multiple operating systems installed on a computer. And also to select a specific kernel configuration available on a particular operating system’s partitions.
2. LILO (Linux loader): It can boot an operating system from floppy disk and hard disks. It can be placed in the master boot record (MBR) or the boot sector of a partition.
3. BOOTMGR: It reads the boot configuration data and displays an operating system selection menu. You can access the BOOTMGR by pressing the space bar key .
