Gustav Duarte has written a three part article about the computer boot up process. The series starts with the Motherboard Chipsets and the Memory Map of an Intel computer and then he covers the processes that take place from the BIOS initialization to the boot loader. The final part is the coverage of the Kernel Boot Process.

Excellent article. We need more articles like these that clearly and succinctly explain the boot loader and early kernel processes. There's a lot of information out there, but almost none of it explains it as clearly - most just give a high-level overview and are nearly useless.
