ABSTRACT:
An object-oriented framework contains program code for booting a processor with a volatile storage from an attached non-volatile storage. The framework provides a hardware independent boot image base class which can be subclassed to provide boot image program code for each specific hardware configuration. The boot image program code performs low level tasks such as determining the hardware configuration and loading kernel code into the volatile memory. Once the kernel has been loaded into memory it is initialized using the configuration information to provide a hardware-independent platform. Further non-subclassable code is used to establish support for accessing object-oriented shared libraries in the non-volatile storage. Finally an object-oriented environment is established by instantiating a file object from the shared libraries.
