Where in the boot process does the "scheduler" get created and when created how can its instructions be accessed?
A:
That depends on the OS you use, but several things should be clear:
- before the first switch to userland
- before any kernel threads are started or any other multi-programming (multi-tasking) is done
Obviously that is relatively early in the boot process.
What exactly do you mean by "how can its instructions be accessed?"?
