- Network booting
Network booting is the process of booting a computer from a computer network network rather than a local drive. This method of booting can be used by Router computing routers , diskless workstation s and centrally managed computers thin client s such as public computers at library libraries and schools. Network booting can be used to centralise management of disk storage, which supporters claim can result in reduced capital and maintenance costs. It can also be used in Computer cluster cluster computing , in which Node networking node s may not have local disks. Contemporary desktop computer desktop IBM PC compatible personal computers provide an option to boot from the network in BIOS their firmware , frequently via the Preboot Execution Environment . All modern Macintosh Mac systems can also boot from New World ROM their firmware to a network disk via NetBoot . Older personal computers can utilize a floppy disk or USB flash drive flash drive containing software to boot from the network instead, using technology such as iPXE .

The specification describes a method of loading various multiboot Kernel computer science kernels using a single compliant boot loader .

- Readahead
unreferenced date November 2009 lowercase readahead readahead is the prefetcher file prefetching technology used in the Linux operating system . It is a system call that loads a file s contents into the page cache. When a file is subsequently accessed, its contents are read from physical memory rather than from disk, which is much faster. Many distributions of Linux use readahead on a list of commonly used files to speed up booting . In such a setup, if the Kernel computing kernel is booted with the profile parameter, it will record all file accesses during bootup and write a new list of files to be read before booting. This will make additional installed services start faster, because they are not included in the default readahead list.

- Jumpstart (Solaris)
About a computer network installation tool other uses Jump start disambiguation Jump start Primary sources date September 2009 Jumpstart is a computer network installation tool set used by the Solaris operating system Solaris operating system . Usage Jumpstart is used to manage operating system installation in many Information technology environments corporate and otherwise where Solaris operating system computers are widely used. It can provide easier installation minor setup on central server, then one command on an installation client system to start it installing . It also allows completely consistent system installation on many systems over time each install can have exactly the same system configuration and software tools. Alternatively, different types of systems can be installed for different purposes, in each case with consistent installations for a given defined type. Tools used to manipulate Jumpstart include JET, the Jumpstart Enterprise Toolkit. Created by Thomas Fritz in 1994, at Sun. Structure Jumpstart consists of two main parts network booting of a system, and then network installation. Network booting proceeds similarly to Solaris standard network booting capabilities. A Jumpstart and network booting server is set up on the same local network as the system s to be installed. Technically, the network boot and install servers can be separate functions, but they are typically the same system. Once a client system begins the Jumpstart process, it then accesses the operating system component software packages stored on the Jumpstart server, usually but not exclusively using Network File System protocol Network File System . Those packages, and optionally additional tools or applications, are automatically installed, and then the system is rebooted. Some additional configuration may be manually performed, or the system s configuration may be set up completely automatically.
