A boot monitor is a small interactive computer program that allows a computer operator to load an operating system. Such programs are stored in read-only memory or in a known location on disk. A boot monitor supports more interaction than merely choosing from a list of available operating systems; it also allows the operator to inspect and change the computer's hardware setup.
