A survey of boot process in Debian on i386 with Legacy BIOS

[Richard Owlett]

I want a very custom installer. I'm looking for something that takes a 
broad view of the boot process. I've found much on the fine details, but 
"the forest is being hidden by the leaves on the branches". Browsing 
historical links from <https://joeyh.name/code/> suggest my peculiar 
goals may have been used ~10 years ago.

TIA
