| | Use of other processors during BIOS boot sequence to minimize boot time - US Patent 6336185 |
 | | Booting occurs automatically when the PC is first turned on by a process called a "Cold Boot," or by the user while the computer is running ("Warm Boot"). | | | Boot strapping usually performs at least two functions, including running a power-on self-test function, or POST, and searching the storage media (floppy diskette or hard drive) for the operating system that it is to load. | | | A personal computer system as defined in claim 20, wherein said processors are programmed to complete execution of any boot sequence task, after the initiation of the boot sequence task, without reference to data or the execution of any other processor. |

| | EDM/2 - A Note on the OS/2 Warp Boot Sequence |
| | Since it is sometimes necessary to have multiple versions of OS/2 installed on one computer, or even to boot other operating systems occasionally, IBM has provided Boot Manager to allow the user to select the boot partition immediately after the computer is turned on. | | | The program also assumes that the boot drive is the first physical hard drive on the system, and will need minor modifications if this is not the case. | | | To trace the operation of Boot Manager, we first need a way of accessing and patching the code on the hard drive. |

| | System Boot Sequence |
| | Once the boot sector is found and its contents or data verified, the BIOS starts the process of booting the operating system by using the information in the boot sector. | | | The system BIOS (a small bit of code inserted in the BIOS prom chip located on your computers motherboard) is what starts the computer running when you turn it on. | | | Most are set to first look for a bootable floppy disk, and if one is not found then the BIOS proceeds to a hard disk, which is usually the C: drive. |
