Bootstrapping is the process of loading a set of instructions when a computer is first turned on or booted. During the startup process, diagnostic tests are performed, such as the power-on self-test (POST), which set or checks configurations for devices and implements routine testing for the connection of peripherals, hardware, and external memory devices. The bootloader or bootstrap program is then loaded to initialize the OS.
