The distinction between the tags boot and startup isn't very clear. The tag wiki excerpt for boot reads
This tag covers both bootloader issues (what happens before the operating system starts) and the starting up of the operating system.
However, I think since this excerpt was written almost two years ago we've mostly been using boot for bootloader issues (up to loading the kernel) and startup for the OS startup (init
, rc scripts and so on). I think we should make this distinction official, and retag the few questions that will then be mistagged. Any opposition?
Also, on which side of the fence do initrd issues fall?
