          Hi all
          I have a basic question for
            understanding :
          If we want to boot the Linux
            kernel without bootloader what needs to be done?
          In other words what all the
            core subsystem like memory and all

            needs initialisation by bootloader and if bootloader is not
            there then how to do it ?
        
      
    The role of a bootloader is to load and initialize an operating
    system - so, in essence, you're asking "what does a bootloader do?"
    and "how do I write a bootloader?"

    
    Perhaps the easiest way to answer your question is to suggest that
    you study the Linux boot process - and how it proceeds from power
    up, to BIOS, to LILO or Grub.  Your answer is in the details.
