Its functionality relies on BIOS emulation through EFI and a partition table information synchronization mechanism between GPT and MBR combined.[5]
Holding down the option key (⌥) at startup brings up the boot manager, allowing the user to choose which operating system to boot. When using a non-Apple keyboard, the alt key usually performs the same action. The boot manager can also be launched by holding down the “menu” button on the Apple Remote at startup.
Boot Camp displaced the open source Xom Project for dual booting Mac OS X and Windows XP.[4]
Boot Camp is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.'s Mac OS X that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers. The utility's Boot Camp Assistant guides users through non-destructive disk partitioning (including resizing of an existing HFS+ partition, if necessary) of their hard disk drive and installation of Windows device drivers. The utility also installs a Windows Control Panel applet for selecting the boot operating system.

(September 2011) Boot Camp does not work if more than the primary OS X partition exists on the target hard drive. To work around this problem, and create a boot drive with 3+ partitions, one must take the following steps. It is imperative that one and only one partition exist at the beginning of the Boot Camp setup process. 2+ partitions will cause a failure in the creation of the second boot partition (having a non-Boot Camp partition also prevents the OS X Lion recovery partition from being created as well as the use of File Vault). Run boot camp using the installation instructions found on the Apple support site. It can be located by using the search box and searching for "boot camp." After setting up Microsoft Windows using the Boot Camp utility, return to Mac OS X and open the Disk Utility application. Shrink the (now in use) OS X partition down so that it and the not yet created third partition have the desired space (limited by hard drive capacity). Now that the hard drive has free space, create a new not bootable partition. This partition can be used for files, or for encryption purposes. If TrueCrypt is being run within OS X Lion, the partition will not be recognized in Microsoft Windows.

Initially introduced as an unsupported beta for Mac OS X Tiger,[1][2] the utility was first included with Mac OS X Leopard and has been included in subsequent versions of the operating system ever since. Previous versions of Boot Camp supported new installations of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. However, with the release of Boot Camp 4.0 for Mac OS X Lion, only installations of Windows 7 are officially supported. Users have also installed Linux using the utility, although Apple has not listed support for Linux operating systems.[3]
