LPIC-1 Exam 101 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 63

Which of the following statements are true about the boot sequence of a PC using a BIOS? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Some parts of the boot process can be configured from the BIOS
• B. Linux does not require the assistance of the BIOS to boot a computer
• C. The BIOS boot process starts only if secondary storage, such as the hard disk, is functional
• D. The BIOS initiates the boot process after turning the computer on
• E. The BIOS is started by loading hardware drivers from secondary storage, such as the hard disk

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because the BIOS allows users to configure various settings related to the boot process. Option D is also correct as the BIOS initiates the boot sequence immediately after the power is turned on. Option B is incorrect because while Linux can operate independently of BIOS in some cases, it typically still requires BIOS for initial booting. Option C is wrong because the BIOS can attempt to boot even if secondary storage is not fully functional. Option E is incorrect since the BIOS does not load drivers from secondary storage; it operates independently of the operating system drivers.
