Read the documentation for the system. Intel has complete free huge pdf
volumes on their site which covers all steps during booting and beyond.

There is no such language: C/C++.
There is C, and there is C++.

The open source Linux operating system would be a good place to look
to see how this can be done for a PC (i.e. for PC's with an Intel x86
CPU). Most of Linux is written in C (not C++). However, there is also
a lot of code which is necessarily written in assembler because at
boot time, you have no way of executing any C runtime functions or
otherwise interfacing with the hardware.

boot programm

I think GRUB was impleented in C, whereas LILO was in assembler, IIRC.

Hi
First, thanks for your help.
And by C/C++ I mean both languages C and C++ because of their
similarity.

That's usually a bad thing, due to their dissimilarities.
