    The boot process begins with POST to check hardware, then the boot loader searches boot devices to find the OS and loads it into RAM. It then displays the login screen. Specifically: 1. POST checks hardware on power-on 2. The boot loader searches boot devices like the MBR, grub configuration files, and finds the kernel and initramfs scripts 3. The kernel and initramfs are loaded into RAM, then initramfs mounts the filesystem and loads modules before starting the target system like GUI or CLI 4. The login screen is then displayed to the user.
