The following is a pretty decent historical page about the pre-(U)EFI MBR (Master Boot Record) boot process:
https://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/mbr/STDMBR.htm
Note that EFI/UEFI -- occurred much later in time than MBR...

You might also wish to check out some emulators, most notably Bochs (https://bochs.sourceforge.io/) and QEMU (https://www.qemu.org/) because they simulate the boot process, and if you're in their debuggers, you should be able to inspect that process step by step -- but also more generally emulators for other machines/platforms/architectures (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_system_emulat...) -- because in general, most of those emulators should simulate the given machine/platform/architecture's boot process...

I wrote an article on writing a tiny pseudo-bootloader a while back[0] that got a bit of traction on HN at the time; you may enjoy it as an accesible and fun stepping stoke into the space. There’s an accompanying GH repo[1] with all the resources you need to run it yourself :)

Can't remember if it covers more practical stuff like GRUB but I really like https://littleosbook.github.io/
Intel has opensource training on EFI/UEFI and the whole boot process. https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Traini...
