    Page sizes are always powers of 2 because the paging system breaks the memory address into a page number and offset by splitting the bits. Splitting the address bits results in page sizes that are powers of 2 since each bit position represents a power of 2. A system could be designed to allow choice of operating systems at boot by having a bootstrap program load first that displays an OS selection menu and loads the chosen OS kernel.

    1.Why are page sizes always powers of 2?

    The paging is implemented by breaking up an address into a page and offset number.It is most
    efficient to break the address into X page and Y offset bits, rather than perform arithmetic on the
    address to calculate the page number and offset.Because each bit position represents a power
    of 2, splitting an address between bits results in a page size that is a power of 2.

    2. How could a system be designed to allow a choice of operating systems from


    which to boot? What would the bootstrap program need to do?
