# 7.19. Making the Temporary System Bootable

Create a `aboot.conf` file defining aboot's boot menu:

    cat > /etc/aboot.conf << "EOF"
    # Begin /etc/aboot.conf
    0:1/boot/clfskernel-2.6.17.4 root=/dev/sda1
    # End /etc/aboot.conf
    EOF

If you already have aboot installed on your target system, you do not need to reinstall it. aboot 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:

    swriteboot -f3 /dev/sda /boot/bootlx
    abootconf /dev/sda 1
