According to the CHFI v10 textbook, the correct step if the pre-linked kernel is missing is: A. The boot loader will attempt to load the mkext cache file containing a set of device drivers The mkext (Macintosh Kernel Extension) cache file contains a collection of kernel extensions and device drivers. If the pre-linked kernel is missing, the boot loader will attempt to use the mkext cache to load the necessary drivers to boot the system.
