It places them into memory as if it were running in a pre-boot environment and then loads that image into the Linux kernel with man:kexec_load[2] and does a special reboot to that kernel image.
For UEFI enabled systems, it passes the UEFI memory table, and pointer to UEFI runtime services to the new kernel.

It supports loading files from the host's filesystem, from any loader(8) supported filesystem on the host's block devices (including ZPOOLS that span multiple devices), from ram disk images and from files downloaded over the network.
