I'm not sure how official the term is. I have seen it mostly in decompressors' files. It's the environment after a boot loader has loaded the kernel but before the kernel has decompressed itself. On x86 the preboot environment has done its job once "Booting the kernel." has been printed. -- Lasse Collin | IRC: Larhzu @ IRCnet & Freenode -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
