+<title>Mounting virtual kernel file systems</title>
+<?dbhtml filename="kernfs.html"?>
+
+<para>Various file systems exported by the kernel don't exist at all on your
+hard drive, but are used to communicate things to and from the kernel itself.</para>
+
+<para>Begin by creating directories onto which the file systems will be mounted:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS/{proc,sys}</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Now mount the file systems:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mount -t proc proc $LFS/proc
+mount -t sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Remember that if for any reason you stop working on your BE-LFS, and start
+again later, it's important to check that these file systems are mounted again
+before entering the chroot environment, otherwise problems could occur.</para>
+
+<para>Shortly, we'll be mounting a few more file systems from within the chroot
+environment. To keep the host up-to-date, we'll do a <quote>fake mount</quote>
+for each of these now:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mount -f -t ramfs ramfs $LFS/dev
+mount -f -t tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/dev/shm
+mount -f -t devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 devpts $LFS/dev/pts</userinput></screen>
