3. What is the last step
in booting a computer?
Answers
·
Execute the bootloader.
·
Load up drivers.
·
Perform a POST.
·
User space is launched.
Explanation: The loading of the operating system is often the last stage
in the process of a computer starting up or booting up. Following the
completion of the first hardware checks and the execution of the system BIOS or
UEFI firmware, control of the computer is transferred to the operating system
loader. This component is accountable for loading the operating system into the
random access memory (RAM) of the computer.
When the operating system has been successfully loaded into
memory, the system is then prepared for the user to communicate with the
computer. Depending on how the system has been configured, the operating system
will either provide the user with a user interface or a command prompt once it
has taken control of the system and initialized the different system
components.
The first firmware and hardware checks are followed by the
transition to the loading and execution of the operating system, which prepares
the machine for interaction with the user. This is the last stage in the
booting process.

comes preinstalled with macOS. It has a graphical user interface that allows
users to explore their Mac's file system, organize their files and folders, and
do other file-related tasks. Users may navigate through directories using
Finder, examine information about files, copy and move files, and carry out a
variety of other file management operations with this application.
9. What command can you

cat
·
ls
·
touch

mkfile
Explanation: Simply
change the word "filename" to the name you wish to give the new file
you're going to create. If the file is already there, touch will update the
timestamp that indicates the last time it was modified. In the event that the
file does not already exist, touch will create a new, empty file using the name
you provide.
10. A ____ is an
emulation of a physical machine.
Answers
·
BIOS
·
virtual machine
·
driver
Explanation: An emulation of a real machine is
referred to as a virtual machine (VM for short). Virtual machines are
software-based representations of actual computers that, like their physical
counterparts, are capable of running an operating system and applications.
Virtual machines may be created from physical computers. The use of
virtualization software to build and manage these machines is what makes it
possible for several virtual computers to coexist on a single physical server.
The concept of virtualization makes it possible for users to run numerous operating systems on a single physical computer. This provides users with flexibility, efficiency in the use of resources, and separation between the many computing environments. Server virtualization, software development and testing, and cloud computing are just few of the many applications that make extensive use of virtual machines.
