Chapter 13 of "The Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD UNIX Operating
System" discusses system startup.

Section 2.6.4 of Operating Systems by A. Tannenbaum talks briefly about system
intialization.

Chapter 2 of the "UNIX System Administration Handbook" is devoted to startup
and shutdown from an administrators point of view.

Section 7.9 of "The Design of the UNIX Operating System" presents the SysV
view of system boot and the init process.

Good luck.
