-<title>Making the LFS system bootable</title>
-<?dbhtml filename="lilo.html" dir="chapter08"?>
-
-<para>In order to be able to boot the LFS system, we need to update our
-bootloader. We're assuming that your host system is using Lilo (since
-that's the most commonly used boot loader at the moment).</para>
-
-<para>We will not be running the lilo program inside chroot. Running lilo
-inside chroot can have fatal side-effects which render your MBR useless
-and you'd need a boot disk to be able to start any Linux system (either
-the host system or the LFS system).</para>
-
-<para>First we'll exit chroot and copy the lfskernel file to the host
-system:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>logout</userinput>
-<userinput>cp $LFS/boot/lfskernel /boot</userinput></screen></para>
-
-<para>The next step is adding an entry to /etc/lilo.conf so that we can
-choose LFS when booting the computer:</para>
-
-<para><screen><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></screen></para>
-
-<para>&lt;partition&gt; must be replaced with the LFS
-partition's designation.</para>
-
-<para>Also note that if you are using reiserfs for your root partition,
-the line <userinput>read-only</userinput> should be changed to
-<userinput>read-write</userinput>.</para>
-
-<para>Now, update the boot loader by running:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>/sbin/lilo -v</userinput></screen></para>
-
-<para>The last step is synchronizing the host system's lilo
-configuration files with the LFS system's:</para>
-
-<para><screen><userinput>cp /etc/lilo.conf $LFS/etc
-cp $(grep "image.*=" /etc/lilo.conf | cut -f 2 -d "=") $LFS/boot</userinput></screen></para>
