While attempting to boot your i386 system, the boot process fails with a message that the root filesystem could not be mounted. Which stage of the boot process is failing?
A. Kernel
B. Boot loader
C. BIOS POST
D. Fsck
E. Init
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation: When the kernel is loaded, it mounts the root filesystem. The root filesystem cannot be mounted; therefore the boot process has failed at the kernel stage.
Reference: http://barclay.its.monash.edu.au/~kim/boot/boot.html
Incorrect Answers
B:The boot loader is stored in the master boot record by default. The boot loader loads the kernel, which then mounts the root filesystem.
C:The BIOS POST (power on self check) is the first part of the boot process. It does not mount the root filesystem.
D:Fsck runs after the root filesystem is mounted.
E:Init runs after the root filesystem is mounted.
