The 3.0 boot code is located in /usr/src/sys/boot

If you mean the 'initialized kernel data', then it's stored in the file
/kernel itself (or whatever file you boot from) in section '.data' of the
ELF file.

question about boot code

[fretre]

1.  I try to learn something about boot code with version 3.0. I
wander whether I can begin with biosboot?(/usr/src/sys/i386/
boot/biosboot)
2.  The initialized data will be loaded into memory after kernel
text during boot stage. And where is the file that the
initialized data is defined in? and
3.  What's the file name?

Thanks a lot from Fre Tre
