Abstract

A system is disclosed for use in booting a processor with a storage and attached peripherals. The system utilizes a technique for initializing a computer by resetting the storage and the one or more peripherals. Then, the system initializes a degredated environment for use in activating an operating system. The degredated operating environment enables file sharing and other basic tasks of importance in loading in the IO devices, system preferences, and hardware configurations and replaces itself with the IO file system for use by the operating system.
