Solaris Boot Process

The boot process in solaris comprises of mainly five stages



1. Boot PROM Phase : The boot PROM runs the (POST) Power On Self Test
    to test the hardware like Ram,Keyboard , Cpu ,Ethernet Adress and Host Id 
    etc. Boot PROM reads the primary boot program Bootblk [Sector 1-15]  
    and executes it.


2. Boot Program Phase : Bootblk loads the secondary boot program
     i-e ufsboot into the memory. Ufsboot reads and loads the kernel . 
    The Kernel is composed of two parts 

    a). Unix (Platform specific kernel)
    b). Genunix (Platform independent Kernel)

    Ufsboot combines these two kernels into one complete kernel 
    and loads into memory. 

3. Kernel Initialization Phase : The kernel reads the configuration
     file /etc/system.Kernel initialises itself and loads the kernel modules.
     The modules usually resides in /Kernel and /usr/kernel directories.

4. Init Phase : Kernel starts the /etc/init daemon(with PID 1) .The
    /etc/init daemon starts the svc.startd process which is 
    responsible for starting and stopping the services.The /etc/init
    daemon uses a file called /etc/inittab to boot up the system 
    to appropriate run level mentioned in this file.


5. Svc.startd Phase : After kernel starts the svc.startd daemon 

    executes rc scripts present in /sbin directory based upon the

    run level.
