+# Boot script file for booting GNU Hurd from a boot floppy. Each line
+# specifies a file to be loaded by the boot loader (the first word), and
+# actions to be done with it.
+
+# First, the bootstrap filesystem. It needs several ports as arguments,
+# as well as the user flags from the boot loader.

+# Now the exec server; to load the dynamically-linked exec server program,
+# we have the boot loader in fact load and run ld.so, which in turn
+# loads and runs /hurd/exec. This task is created, and its task port saved
+# in ${exec-task} to be passed to the fs above, but it is left suspended;
+# the fs will resume the exec task once it is ready.
