- BIOS/UEFI: Hardware initialization.
- MBR/GPT: Loading the initial bootloader (e.g., GRUB).
- Bootloader: Loading the Linux kernel and initrd.
- Kernel: Hardware initialization, driver activation, starting the first process (init or systemd).
- Init/Systemd: User space initialization, service startup, transition to runlevel/target.
- Runlevel/Target: Starting the final set of services, providing a ready-to-use server (e.g., command prompt or graphical interface).
