<title>Adding an entry to LILO</title>

<para>
In order to being able to boot from this partition, we need to update our
/etc/lilo.conf file. The following lines get added to lilo.conf by running:
</para>

<literallayout>

<userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/lilo.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
image=/boot/lfskernel
        label=lfs
        root=&lt;partition&gt;
        read-only
<userinput>EOF</userinput>

</literallayout>

<para>
&lt;partition&gt; must be replaced by the partition's designation (which
would be /dev/hda5 in my case).
</para>

<para>
Now the boot loader gets updated by running:
</para>

<blockquote><literallayout>

	<userinput>/sbin/lilo</userinput>

</literallayout></blockquote>
