Could you always boot from a USB drive? My BIOS didn't have that
option.
Most of todays computers no longer use a "bios"
That has still become the buzz word for the firmware that turns a
bunch of random chips into a computer.
If not, what takes the place of the BIOS ? Maybe something like it by a
different name ? The Microsoft type computers I know of need something
in the hardware/firmware to tell the processor how to start up the hard
drive to load an operating system of some sort and where the video and
key board/mouse is.
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface.
