 <title>Mounting the New Partition</title>
 <?dbhtml filename="mounting.html"?>
 
-<para>See testing</para>
+<para>Now that a file system has been created, the partition needs to
+be made accessible. In order to do this, the partition needs to be
+mounted at a chosen mount point. For the purposes of this book, it is
+assumed that the file system is mounted under <filename
+class="directory">/mnt/lfs</filename>, but the directory choice is up
+to you.</para>
+
+<para>Choose a mount point and assign it to the <envar>LFS</envar> 
+environment variable by running:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>export LFS=/mnt/lfs</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Next, create the mount point and mount the LFS file system by
+running:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
+mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> with the designation of the LFS
+partition.</para>
+
+<para>If using multiple partitions for LFS (e.g., one for <filename
+class="directory">/</filename> and another for <filename
+class="directory">/usr</filename>), mount them using:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>mkdir -p $LFS
+mount /dev/<replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> $LFS
+mkdir $LFS/usr
+mount /dev/<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> $LFS/usr</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>Replace <replaceable>[xxx]</replaceable> and
+<replaceable>[yyy]</replaceable> with the appropriate partition
+names.</para>
+
+<para>Ensure that this new partition is not mounted with permissions
+that are too restrictive (such as the nosuid, nodev, or noatime
+options). Run the <command>mount</command> command without any
+parameters to see what options are set for the mounted LFS
+partition. If <parameter>nosuid</parameter>, <parameter>nodev</parameter>,
+and/or <parameter>noatime</parameter> are set, the partition will need
+to be remounted.</para>
+
+<para>Now that there is an established place to work, it is time to
+download the packages.</para>
