Bootstrap guide You want to deploy Collapse OS on a new system? Start here. What is Collapse OS? It is a binary placed either in ROM on in RAM by a bootloader. That binary, when executed, initializes itself to a Forth interpreter. In most cases, that Forth interpreter will have some access to a mass storage device, which allows it to access Collapse OS' disk blocks and come to this block to bootstrap itself some more. This binary can be separated in 5 distinct layers: 1. Boot code (B280) 2. Boot words (B305) 3. Core words (low) (B350) 4. Drivers (cont.)
