= Explaination =
Loaders are used for loading other modules.

Commonly found in [[Boot_Order#CoreOS_PKG_Filelisting|CoreOS]] and [[Flash]].

When booting, lv1ldr store its version in this region writing to ch_72.<br />
isoldr asks for the version in two chuncks, if you want to pass version 3.41 (0x0003004100000000)

Note: this version check was recently added, maybe in fw 3.41

<pre>
//for ch_73_round_0
data0 = 0x00030041;
//for ch_73_round_1
data1 = 0x00000000;
</pre>

=== lv1ldr ===
Used for loading the hypervisor (lv1.self). It also handles some initialization of the ATA and ENCDEC subsystems.
