A VERY vague question. The only thing you are correct on, is that the bootloader is the first software component that runs when starting a system. But as Michael replied, without further details like CPU, memory ... etc, there's very little information you've given us to help you.
Now, on the other hand, if you are just fishing for information about embedded and android, I would suggest you buy a beaglebone. Android has been ported to it and you'll have a better idea of how things work by studying the related source code and hardware datasheets.

Also extremly interesting are the Allwinner based boards.
Board such as the Olimex Olinuxino's are open source hardware (schematics etc available via their github) and are supported (out of tree unfortunately for now, but tree is being pulled regularly) by u-boot and linux. Usermanuals/datasheets are available for A10, A13 and A20 series of chips to study.
