A bootstrap program is the first code that is executed when the computer system is started. ... The operating system is loaded into the RAM by the bootstrap program after the start of the computer system. Then the operating system starts the device drivers.

Answer:

Bootstrapping :- It refers when a process does not require any input from outside to start.

Bootstrap program:- It is the first code that is executed when the computer system is started.

Bootstrap program is a part of ROM and it is non-volatile memory. Then the operating system is loaded in the RAM by bootstrap program after the start of the computer system. Then the operating system starts the device drivers.
