+<title>Creating the /etc/fstab file</title>
+
+<para>
+In order for certain programs to be able to determine where certain
+partitions are supposed to be mounted by default, the /etc/fstab file is
+used. Create a new file <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> containing the
+following:
+</para>
+
+<literallayout>
+
+<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/fstab &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
+# Begin /etc/fstab
+
+/dev/&lt;LFS-partition designation&gt; / ext2 defaults 1 1
+/dev/&lt;swap-partition designation&gt; swap swap defaults 0 0
+proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
+
+# End /etc/fstab
+<userinput>EOF</userinput>
+
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+Replace &lt;LFS-partition designation&gt; and &lt;swap-partition
+designation&gt; with the appropriate devices (/dev/hda5 and /dev/hda6 in my
+case).
+</para>
