rEFInd is a fork of the rEFIt boot manager. Like rEFIt, rEFInd can auto-detect your installed EFI boot loaders and it presents a pretty GUI menu of boot options. rEFInd goes beyond rEFIt in that rEFInd better handles systems with many boot loaders, gives better control over the boot loader search process, and provides the ability for users to define their own boot loader entries.

Provides a number of container APIs written in C for use within UEFI shell applications. These include strings, lists, arrays, maps, buffers and a basic object model. It also includes some UEFI wrapper functions.

uefi on loongson(MIPS).

An open source project to support virtual machine firmware development for UEFI.

Depinit is an alternative init program that can handle parallel execution, dependencies, true roll-back, pipelines, improved signaling and unmounting filesystems on shutdown. It incorporates ideas from sysvinit, simpleinit, daemontools and make. At present, it is a bit experimental, and requires good knowledge of the initialisation process to set up.

Tool for creating live usb-drives and downloading distros. This is an upgraded version of Unetbootin focusing on Bittix linux 9 and above and Linux Mint and Linux Mint debian. Has Distrowatch.com link etc.

rc.stupid a Linux daemon that: - repeatedly runs a start script at system startup until this script exits with zero status - regulary runs a check script - runs a stop script at system shutdown Why ? Because startup systems like systemd and upstart are sometimes hard to tune in many situations, like MySQL data directory on a networked filesystem. As rc.stupid does nothing other as running scripts (or anything that may be executed) you may find other use cases like simple clustering.

rEFIt is a boot menu and maintenance toolkit for EFI-based machines like the Intel Macs.

DruidBSD is a FreeBSD micro-distribution that supports CD/DVD, USB, and HD booting into a Live BSD Distribution.

This project's goal was to develop an open source firmware for Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE and similar AR7 based devices. Projektziel war die Entwicklung einer freien Firmware für Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE und vergleichbare Geräte mit AR7-Prozessor.

eINIT is a replacement for the long standard sysvinit. It aims to be yet one of the fastest and most configurable init systems around.

Set geometry and location parameters in NTFS filesystem, so it can boot.

IXP4xx (IXP425, 422, 421, 420) BSP for Windows CE (wince/Windows Embedded Compact) 4.2/5.0/6.0/7.0

Simple `init' program with parallel execution and dependencies via reference counting (`start' and `stop' commands).

This project develops user space tools used for hibernation (suspend-to-disk) and suspend (suspend-to-RAM or standby) on Linux systems.

qingy is a replacement of getty. Written in C, it uses DirectFB to provide a fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Window System. It allows the user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console, gnome, kde, wmaker, ...).

A port of the Linux operating system kernel and assorted GNU userspace to the GameCube and Wii gaming consoles from Nintendo. Please, see http://www.gc-linux.org for additional information.

A set of tools to generate and build a customized initramfs, for simple mounting tasks, such as setting up a unionfs system. Written for a small footprint and fast execution. Compatible with both glibc and uClibc.

TrustedGRUB extends the GRUB bootloader with TCG support. This makes it possible to provide a secure bootstrap architecture. The whole boot process is measured and - by support of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) - the system integrity is verifyable.

This is a small program that reads and writes the WakeUp time in the BIOS. This is done via /dev/nvram on recent kernels (>2.4.6, including 2.6.x) or, alternatively, via direct ISA access. On this WakeUp time the computer is powered on automatically.

GRUB for DOS is the dos extension of GRUB. It enables dos users to run the configuration console directly in real mode. The project also contains an utility called WINGRUB, an GUI intends to help configuring and installing GRUB in the WINDOWS environment

BootUtils is a collection of utilities to facilitate booting of modern Kernel 2.6 based systems. The process of finding the root volume either by label or explicit label= on the kernel command line, mounting it and 'switchroot'ing is automated.

The Xbox Linux Project aims to privide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer. Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.

Choose-OS (chos), is a modular and configurable boot loader for Linux/x86 - a program that is loaded by the BIOS before any operating systems. This program then lets you choose the operating system to boot and possibly enter parameters to it

SPBLinux: modular mini distribution running completely in RAM, can be booted from USB, based on Busybox and Midnight Commander, optional with DirectFB and (since version 2.1) Mozilla; it is possible to create/modify own modules inside SPBLinux.
