Question on: SS1 ICT - Basic Computer Operations

The bootloader is a small program that plays a pivotal role in loading the operating system. It is usually located in the Master Boot Record (MBR) of the storage device. When the computer is turned on, the bootloader is the first program that is executed. Its main task is to locate the operating system's kernel, which is the core part of the OS, and load it into memory. Once the kernel is loaded, control is handed over to it, and the kernel takes over the initialization of hardware devices and system services.
