Re: which references (books, web pages, faqs, videos, ...) would you recommend to someone learning about the Linux boot process as thoroughly as possible?

I only know about the small bridges between computer firmware and the
first custom program to be started, which usually is a bootloader.

If i wanted to expand my knowledge towards x86-related firmware,
bootloaders, and the Linux kernel i would probably begin at
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS
  https://uefi.org/specifications
  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/x86/
depending on the direction of my expansion. (I wouldn't get far, i guess.)


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
