  • Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems
    Chapter 3. Booting Operating Systems Abstract: Chapter 3 provides a complete coverage on operating systems booting. It explains the booting principle and the booting sequence of various kinds of bootable devices. These include booting from floppy disk, hard disk, CDROM and USB drives. Instead of writing a customized booter to boot up only MTX, it shows how to develop booter programs to boot up real operating systems, such as Linux, from a variety of bootable devices. In particular, it shows how to boot up generic Linux bzImage kernels with initial ramdisk support. It is shown that the hard disk and CDROM booters developed in this book are comparable to GRUB and isolinux in performance. In addition, it demonstrates the booter programs by sample systems. 3.1. Booting Booting, which is short for bootstrap, refers to the process of loading an operating system image into computer memory and starting up the operating system. As such, it is the first step to run an operating system. Despite its importance and widespread interests among computer users, the subject of booting is rarely discussed in operating system books. Information on booting are usually scattered and, in most cases, incomplete. A systematic treatment of the booting process has been lacking. The purpose of this chapter is to try to fill this void. In this chapter, we shall discuss the booting principle and show how to write booter programs to boot up real operating systems. As one might expect, the booting process is highly machine dependent. To be more specific, we shall only consider the booting process of Intel x86 based PCs.

  • Oracle Virtualbox Installation, Setup, and Ubuntu Introduction
    ORACLE VIRTUALBOX INSTALLATION, SETUP, AND UBUNTU INTRODUCTION • VirtualBox is a hardware virtualization program. • Create virtual computers aka virtual machines. • Prototyping, sandboxing, testing. • The computer that VirtualBox is installed on is called the “host”, and each virtual machine is called a “guest”. PREREQUISITES Since virtual machines share resources with the host computer, we need to know what resources we have available on our host. • Click “Type here to search”. • Search for “System Information”. • Note the number of processor cores and the amount of RAM installed in your host. PREREQUISITES • Expand “Components”. • Expand “Storage”. • Select “Drives”. • Note the amount of free space available on your host. Every computer is different, so how we will need to balance these resources between our host and guest systems will differ. DOWNLOADING VIRTUALBOX • VISIT VIRTUALBOX.ORG • SELECT THE CORRECT PACKAGE • CLICK THE DOWNLOAD LINK. FOR YOUR HOST. INSTALLING VIRTUALBOX • Browse to where you downloaded VirtualBox and run the installer. • All default options will be fine. Simply follow the prompts. INSTALLING VIRTUALBOX • CLICK “FINISH”. • VIRTUALBOX INSTALLED! SETTING THINGS UP Before we build our first virtual machine, we need to download an operating system to install as our “guest”. • Visit Ubuntu.com • Click “Download”. • Select the current Ubuntu Desktop “LTS” release. • LTS releases focus on stability rather than cutting edge features. SETTING THINGS UP • IN VIRTUALBOX, CLICK “NEW”. • NAME THE VIRTUAL MACHINE. SETTING THINGS UP Here’s where we will need the system resources information that we looked up earlier. Each virtual machine functions like a separate computer in and of itself and will need to share RAM with the host.

  • How to Install and Use Virtualbox on Windows 10 1. Download
    How to install and use VirtualBox on Windows 10 1. Download VirtualBox, Choose “Windows hosts” https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads a. You can watch this YouTube video for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mns5yqMfZk 2. Find and download the iso file you’d use, e.g., ubuntu. Following this link to download an *.iso file, which is a CD image, e.g., “ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64.iso” Usually you’d pick the LTS (Long Term Support) version. The .iso file is very large, 2.6 GB for version 20.04. So it may take some time to download it. https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop You might consider to save this iso file in a folder that has all your VMs, e.g., c:\users\your name\VirtualBox\ so it is easier to retrieve them later. ​ 3. Set up and boot from an iso (optical disk image) file Oracle VM - How To Load and Boot from ISO - VirtualBox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ_uqCtgaKI In this process, the key is to set the “storage” option to tell VM to boot from the *.iso file you downloaded from step 2. You will have an option to specify the amount of memory and the disk space for the VM. In general, take the default of 1 GB memory (1024 MB) and 10 GB disk should work for most. If you plan to use more than gcc or Makefile, it may be a good idea to set the disk space to be 20 GB. 4. Start the VM with the newly installed boot CD, e.g., ubuntu to set up the ubuntu system on your VM.
