Does OS X El Capitan have a /boot folder

Question

I know that the /boot folder contains the static files of the 'boot' loader.

I'm just curious to why I can't see this folder on my Mac. Im using OS X El Capitan.

Does OS X El Capitan have a /boot folder or is there an alternative?

Answer 1

The OS X boot loader is stored in a file called boot.efi which you can find in /System/Library/CoreServices. It isn't stored in /boot.
