Hi, everybody!

Welcome to 8052.com!

Sean Mckelley said:
1) What happens when the thing is powered up? Can we assume that it starts at memory address 00h and just moves through the addresses,

Bingo!

Sean Mckelley said:
It doesn't have any kind of "BIOS"-like system, does it?

Bingo!

Sean Mckelley said:
2) How is it programmed? I mean what sequence of signals go into which of the actual chip's pins to write to the memory locations on the chip?

There is no "it". The old 8051 as Intel conceived it 27 years ago is firmly dead for a long time. Today, we use one of the hundreds of derivatives. Chose one and we can talk about how it is programmed. To get a rough picture, look at this FAQ.

Sean Mckelley said:
--is there a book that gets into this level without costing a kidney?

Unless you value your kidney really really low...
Start here.
On the left <--- you see buttons like Tutorials, FAQs. Read through and follow the links therein. I am sure you will come back with more questions after, but we are happy here to answer those.
