Der Bootprozess von Windows 95 & 98 erklärt

Im Grunde ist der Bootprozess von Windows 9x immer noch ähnlich zu dem, was Windows 10 & 11 veranstalten (UEFI-Spezialitäten ausgenommen).

Der Startprozess von Windows 9x Systemen lässt sich in 6 Phasen einteilen:

1. Phase der Stromversorgung
2. BIOS-Phase
3. Betriebssystem unabhängige Boot-Phase
4. Betriebssystem Real-Modus-Phase
5.Windows-Phase
6. Windows Login

Easy to do if you do not control the bootloader and do not have root.

🚀 Behold! The epic saga of building a "Hypervisor" in just 1,000 lines! 🤯 Marvel at the audacious claim of with lines to spare! 😂 Spoiler alert: the book is still a "work in progress," but who needs completion when you have and optimism? 🥳

🐌 "Nitro: Finally, an so it's practically microscopic! Clearly, what the world needed was another way to overcomplicate the already simple task of a machine. 🤦‍♂️ Good luck configuring it with your directory of scripts—because nothing says 'user-friendly' like endless scripting! 🧩"

🚀✨ Behold, the riveting saga of on a FLORA Prius—a task so thrilling it demands a 1999 user manual and a sprinkle of Japanese documentation. Because nothing screams cutting-edge like juggling and boot managers in the era of panic. 🤖💾

#Linux must be installed on a clean computer or a virtual machine in 2025.

Dual #booting from internal or external drive, and UEFI boot loading fuck with disabling fast boot and safe boot makes the whole traversal process rotten to the core...

Use Linux as default. #imho

I could also mount the encrypted partitions on the #HardDrive and to recreate the symbolic link which I’d deleted. Luckily this allowed my original system to start #Booting again. However, something was still wrong with sudo but looking it up, there was ample help online about what was wrong: the #program has to be #setuid 0 and so once I was able to do that I recovered the system. Phew.

Ventoy
Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. With ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly. You can copy many files at a time and ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them (screenshot). You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI fi

Anyway, the short-term solution would be to setup some #iPXE "Internet Boot Server" on boot.os1337.com to download @OS1337 into RAM and boot that...

Cuz that may be a quick and dirty option to get the latest version at boot...

Because I need to dual boot , I decided to bring to the game, and it’s awesome.👏

With some minor tweaking, you can have any OS (even ) booting through their own EFI partition. And colors! And no more pressing FX to select the boot loader! USB compatible!

It would be cool now to have a cross platform utility to pick which OS you want to boot tinto next.

Hey #fedora #linux folks!

I am running #btrfs of course and I am doing snapshots hourly and also prior to any dnf #updates. (Ask me why).

So I have root #snaps like

ID 495 gen 15736 top level 257 path mnt/backup/root/snapshot-2024-06-19_1400

What is the correct way of #booting from a snapshot? Tried sysguides.com/install-fedora-w but boy, that went up in flames.

Also, how to revert to a snapshot as "root" snapshot?

Thanks!

The recording of the 2024-06-06 bhyve Production User Call is up:

We discussed aarch64 and amd64 boot stages in great detail (and would love to see more highly-verbose system boot documentation), read-only VM boot, PXE VM booting, continued Broadcom NIC issues with and without SR-IOV, a '-f (fib number)' option for ping, FreeBSD build options, 9front as a VM, VM termination options, and more!
