Linux can be dual-booted on Macs that use Motorola 680x0 processors [5] (only 68020 and higher, [5] and only non-"EC" processor variants since an MMU is required [6]).The Linux/mac68k community project provides resources to do so, [7] [8] and an m68k community port of the Debian Linux distribution is also available.
Free and open-source software portal; OpeniBoot is an open source implementation of Apple's closed source bootloader iBoot.It allows the booting of unsigned code on supported Apple Devices (such as Linux kernels).
Prior to the development and ubiquitous adoption of the Plug and Play BIOS standard, an add-on device such as a hard disk controller or a network adapter card (NIC) was generally required to include an option ROM in order to be bootable, as the motherboard BIOS did not include any support for the device and so could not incorporate it into the BIOS's boot protocol.
If the sector is read successfully, some BIOSes will also check for the boot sector signature 0x55 0xAA in the last two bytes of the sector (which is 512 bytes long), before accepting a boot sector and considering the device bootable. [b] When a bootable device is found, the BIOS transfers control to the loaded sector.
Such functions include Verbose Mode, achieved by holding down the Command and V key at startup, which replaces the default Apple logo with text-based information on the boot process and Single User Mode, achieved by holding down the Command and S, which, depending on the operating system, may boot into a more basic command-line or text-based ...

When a system on a chip (SoC) enters suspend to RAM mode, in many cases, the processor is completely off while the RAM is put in self refresh mode. At resume, the boot ROM is executed again and many boot ROMs are able to detect that the SoC was in suspend to RAM and can resume by jumping directly to the kernel which then takes care of powering on again the peripherals which were off and ...
