Hello Piyush,

For details, check the man pages for all terminologies mentioned in the boot sequesnce.

PA-RISC sequesnce:
PDC > ISL > HPUX > vmunix
After vmunix kernel loaded:
> swapper process (pid:0)
> Kernel runs /sbin/pre_init_rc
> Kernel spawns /sbin/init
/sbin/init reads /etc/inittab and spawns:
ioinit > bcheckrc > rc > getty > Login :-)
