* BootX tries to load a previously cached list of device drivers (created/updated by /usr/sbin/kextcache). Such a cache is of the type mkext and contains the info dictionaries and binary files for multiple kernel extensions.

* The init routine of the kernel is executed. The root device of the booting system is determined. At this point, Firmware is not accessible any more.

* The I/O Kit is initialized.
