ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and program for concurrent processing of operations in a boot sequence. A first processor signals a second processor to begin initialization and initializes computer resources. The second processor issues commands to initialize at least one storage device to place the at least one storage device in an operable state in response to the signaling by the first processor. The first process determines that one storage device including an operating system loader is operable and loads the operating system from the storage device including the operating system loader in response to determining that the storage device including the operating system loader is operable.
