A boot loader is a program that resides in the starting sectors of a disk, e.g., the MBR (Master Boot Record) of the hard disk. After testing the system during bootup, the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) tranfers control to the MBR if the system is set to be booted from there.

Then the program residing in MBR gets executed. This program is called the boot loader. Its duty is to transfer control to the operating system, which will then proceed with the boot process.

LILO

LILO is a Boot loader for Linux/x86 and other PC operating systems.

Gujin

Gujin is a PC boot loader which can analyze your filesystems.

Gujin finds the Linux kernel images available, as well as other bootable partitions (for *BSD, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.), and displays a graphical menu for selecting which system to boot.

Because it understands the structure of Linux kernel images, Gujin does not need LILO and can even load very big kernels. There is no need to execute anything after making a new kernel: just copy the kernel image file into the ”/boot” directory. Gujin is written almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in real mode to be as compatible as possible.

GNU Grub

GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, GRand Unified Bootloader, which was originally designed and implemented by Erich Stefan Boleyn.

GRUB 0.9.x is now referred to as GRUB Legacy and is no longer developed or supported. All active development is now being done in the GRUB 2 fork.
