bootolását

Bootolását is a Hungarian term that translates to "booting" or "starting up" in English, specifically referring to the process of initiating a computer or other electronic device. It encompasses the sequence of operations that occur from the moment a device is powered on until it becomes fully operational and ready for user interaction. This process typically involves several stages, beginning with the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which checks essential hardware components.

Following POST, the system's firmware, often the BIOS or UEFI, takes over. This firmware loads the operating system's boot loader, a small program responsible for locating and initiating the main operating system kernel. The kernel then takes control, initializing drivers for hardware, managing memory, and starting essential system services and user interfaces. The entire bootolását process is crucial for the device's functionality, as it establishes the foundation upon which all other software operates. Variations in bootolását can occur depending on the device, operating system, and specific hardware configurations.
