The best source of info on what happens during boot0, boot2 and kernel initialization phases I found is the FreeBSD Architecture Handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/boot.html It's still quite accurate regarding the pc32 platform of DFly, though certain details have changed.
It's best read after the higher-level overview from DFly New Handbook.
