INTRODUCTION<br />
PREFACE<br />
The Bootstrap Loader enables you to generate a system that can bootload from Intelsupplied<br />
or custom devices. A bootable system gains control immediately after power-up<br />
or system reset. This manual provides information that enables you to configure your<br />
system to boot from specific devices, to include your own custom device drivers as part of<br />
<strong>the</strong> system, and to place your generated system into PROM devices.<br />
