+<title>Mounting the new partition</title>
+
+<para>
+Now that we have created the ext2 file system, it is ready for use. All we have
+to do to be able to access it (as in reading from and writing date to it) is
+mounting it. If you mount it under /mnt/lfs, you can access this partition
+by going to the /mnt/lfs directory and then do whatever you need to do. This
+book will assume that you have mounted the partition on a subdirectory
+under /mnt. It doesn't matter which directory you choose, just make sure
+you remember what you chose.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Create the /mnt/lfs directory by runnning:
+</para>
+
+<blockquote><literallayout>
+
+	<userinput>mkdir -p /mnt/lfs</userinput>
+
+</literallayout></blockquote>
+
+<para>
+Now mount the LFS partition by running:
+</para>
+
+<blockquote><literallayout>
+
+	<userinput>mount /dev/xxx /mnt/lfs</userinput>
+
+</literallayout></blockquote>
+
+<para>
+Replace <quote>xxx</quote> by your partition's designation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+This directory (/mnt/lfs) is the $LFS variable you have read about earlier.
+So if you read somewhere to "cp inittab $LFS/etc" you actually will type
+<quote>cp inittab /mnt/lfs/etc</quote>. Or if you want to use the $LFS
+environment variable, execute <userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput>
+now.
