# 7.20. Making the Temporary System Bootable

This is for the configuration of silo, similar to what is in bootscripts.

    cat > ${LFS}/etc/silo.conf << "EOF"
    # Begin /etc/silo.conf
    partition = 1         # Boot partition (= root partition)
    root = /dev/sda1      # Root partition
    timeout = 150         # Wait 15 seconds before booting the default section

    image = /boot/lfskernel-2.6.17.1
      label = linux
    # End /etc/silo.conf
    EOF

If you already have Silo installed on your target system, you do not need to reinstall it. Silo is just a chain loader and has no bearing on the system build.

After you get the build copied to when you can boot, you will need to issue the following command:

    silo -f
