Full description
On Intel based PC systems, the BIOS firmware sets up the system and
then loads the image to be run from the boot block of a DOS file
system. This is more or less what MILO does on an Alpha based system,
however there are several interesting differences between BIOS firmware
and MILO, not least of which is that MILO includes and uses standard
Linux device drivers unmodified. MILO is firmware, unlike LILO, which
relies on the BIOS firmware to get itself loaded.
