BootX is a software-based bootloader designed and developed by Apple Inc. for use on the company's Macintosh computer range. BootX is used to prepare the computer for use by loading all required device drivers and then starting-up Mac OS X by booting the kernel on all PowerPC Macintoshes running the Mac OS X 10.2 operating system or later versions.

dbpprop:abstract
  • BootX is a software-based bootloader designed and developed by Apple Inc. for use on the company's Macintosh computer range. BootX is used to prepare the computer for use by loading all required device drivers and then starting-up Mac OS X by booting the kernel on all PowerPC Macintoshes running the Mac OS X 10.2 operating system or later versions. Using BootROM, a read-only memory (ROM) computer chip containing OpenFirmware, a graphical frontend is shown briefly on all compatible Macintosh computers as a grey Apple logo with a spinning cursor that appears during the startup sequence. The program is freely available as part of the Darwin operating system under the open source Apple Public Source License. BootX was superseded by another nearly identical bootloader named boot. efi and an Extensible Firmware Interface ROM on the release of the Intel-based Mac.
  • BootX è il boot loader usato sui computer Macintosh prodotti dalla Apple e serve per caricare il sistema operativo Mac OS X. BootX trova il kernel e i driver necessari per avviare il sistema, li carica nella memoria e lancia il kernel. BootX è anche il nome del bootloader grafico che avvia un'applicazione o un'estensione di Mac OS che permette ai computer pre-iMac/Old World di usare Linux.
  • BootX is de naam van een bootloader die op Apple Macintosh systemen gebruikt wordt om het besturingssysteem Mac OS X te laden. Het is tevens de naam van een grafische bootloader die het mogelijk maakt om Linux te booten vanuit MacOSX. Het kan enkel gebruikt worden op oudere Macintosh-computers.
