# Making the CLFS System Bootable

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

    cat > /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/clfskernel-&linux-version;
      label = linux
    # End /etc/silo.conf
    EOF

    silo -f
