<title>Rebooting the system</title>

<para>
Now that all software has been installed, bootscripts have been created, 
it's time to reboot the computer. Before we reboot let's exit the
chroot'ed environment first and unmount the LFS partition by running:
</para>

<blockquote><literallayout>
	<userinput>logout</userinput>
	<userinput>umount $LFS/proc &amp;&amp;</userinput>
	<userinput>umount $LFS</userinput>
</blockquote></literallayout>

<para>
If your LFS system consists of more than the one partition we have been
assuming for simplicity's sake, unmount those before you try to unmount
$LFS (ie: you can't unmount $LFS while you have something mounted on
$LFS/usr for example).
</para>

<para>
And you can reboot your system by running something like:
</para>

<blockquote><literallayout>
	<userinput>/sbin/shutdown -r now</userinput>
</literallayout></blockquote>

<para>
At the LILO: prompt make sure that you tell it to boot 
<emphasis>lfs</emphasis> and not the default entry which will boot your
host system again.
</para>

<para>
During the first boot you will get a few errors from syslogd and klogd.
These errors occur because we haven't setup networking yet. That will
be taken care of in the next chapter. So don't worry about those errors
for now.
</para>

<para>
As just stated, one thing remains to be done and that's setting up 
networking. After having rebooted and finished the next chapter of this 
book the LFS system is completely ready for use, and you can start
adding your own software.
