ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method and apparatus for initializing a computer system, wherein the computer system includes a processor, a volatile memory, and a non-volatile memory. In one embodiment, the method includes, when the computer system is initialized, automatically copying initialization code stored in the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory, wherein circuitry in the volatile memory automatically creates the copy, and executing, by the processor, the copy of the initialization code from the volatile memory.
