Linux Boot Process
init program (continued)
- Runs the script /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit for necessary settings and processes
- it will run other scripts and read config files for initializing different hardware capabilities and other subsystems.
- Calls each /etc/rc S-scripts in numeric order:
- Runs all scripts for the current runlevel from /etc/rc.d/rcX.d, where X=runlevel
- Script names match ^[SK][0-9]{2}.*
- Runs /etc/rc.d/rc.local for local settings
- once all modules are spawned, loaded, and executed properly, control is returned to the kernel for next stage
