booting

To load and initialise the
operating system on a computer. Normally abbreviated to
"boot". From the curious expression "to pull oneself up by
one's bootstraps", one of the legendary feats of Baron von
Munchhausen. The bootstrap loader is the program that runs
on the computer before any (normal) program can run. Derived
terms include reboot, cold boot, warm boot, soft boot
and hard boot.

The term also applies to the use of a compiler to compile
itself. The usual process is to write an interpreter for a
language, L, in some other existing language. The compiler is
then written in L and the interpreter is used to run it. This
produces an executable for compiling programs in L from the
source of the compiler in L. This technique is often used to
verify the correctness of a compiler. It was first used in
the LISP community.

boot
(jargon)
boot
v.,n.

[techspeak; from ‘by one's bootstraps’] To load and initialize the
operating system on a machine. This usage is no longer jargon (having
passed into techspeak) but has given rise to some derivatives that are
still jargon.

The derivative reboot implies that the machine hasn't been down for long,
or that the boot is a bounce (sense 4) intended to clear some state of {
wedgitude}. This is sometimes used of human thought processes, as in the
following exchange: “You've lost me.” “OK, reboot. Here's the theory....”

This term is also found in the variants cold boot (from power-off
condition) and warm boot (with the CPU and all devices already powered up,
as after a hardware reset or software crash).

Another variant: soft boot, reinitialization of only part of a system,
under control of other software still running: “If you're running the {
mess-dos} emulator, control-alt-insert will cause a soft-boot of the
emulator, while leaving the rest of the system running.”

Opposed to this there is hard boot, which connotes hostility towards or
frustration with the machine being booted: “I'll have to hard-boot this
losing Sun.” “I recommend booting it hard.” One often hard-boots by
performing a power cycle.

Historical note: this term derives from bootstrap loader, a short program
that was read in from cards or paper tape, or toggled in from the front
panel switches. This program was always very short (great efforts were
expended on making it short in order to minimize the labor and chance of
error involved in toggling it in), but was just smart enough to read in a
slightly more complex program (usually from a card or paper tape reader),
to which it handed control; this program in turn was smart enough to read
the application or operating system from a magnetic tape drive or disk
drive. Thus, in successive steps, the computer ‘pulled itself up by its
bootstraps’ to a useful operating state. Nowadays the bootstrap is usually
found in ROM or EPROM, and reads the first stage in from a fixed location
on the disk, called the ‘boot block’. When this program gains control, it
is powerful enough to load the actual OS and hand control over to it.
