摘要:
A system, apparatus and method for supporting multiple file systems in boot code of a computer. The boot code according to the present invention first identifies file systems used by a boot disk and then identifies operating systems associated with the identified file systems. Based on the identified operating systems, the boot sector for an appropriate operating system is located and loaded. Thereafter, the boot code relinquishes control to the loaded operating system. The boot code is capable of supporting multiple file systems, multiple operating systems located in a plurality of partitions of a boot disk, and multiple operating systems using the same file system.
