system boot
when a CPU receives a reset event-for instance, when it is powered up or
rebooted-the instruction register is loaded with a predefined memory
location, and execution starts there. At that location is the initial
bootstrap program. This program is in the form of read-only memory (ROM),
because the RAM is in an unkown state at system startup. ROM is convenient
because it needs no initialization and cannot be infected by a computer
virus.
