# Boot Sequence — Overview
boot_sequence: enrich all articles + new kickstart_rom.md New: kickstart_rom.md (ROM structure, module inventory, tools, custom ROMs) Enriched: cold_boot (diagnostics, LED codes, troubleshooting), kickstart_init (ExecBase creation, ROM scan, 4-phase init), dos_boot (strap, boot block, Startup-Sequence), early_startup (recovery) Updated: 02_boot_sequence/README.md, root README.md
