	~~Because~~ partition ~~configurations are unique to your preferences~~, ~~LFScript~~ can ~~not make the system bootable for~~ you~~. There~~ are ~~two things you have to configure before the system is able to boot~~.		If you installed your system on a single partition (it does not matter which one), and you don't care about swap partitions or running <code>fsck</code> on boot, you can skip this step ('''but only if you are using LFScript 4 revision 21 or newer''').

	~~First, create~~ the '/etc/fstab' file ~~(based on LFS-SVN20120130)~~:		Modify the '/etc/fstab' file, so that it lists all partitions which make up your file system. Be sure to adjust the following command, so that the first three entries correspond with your set up:

	<pre>cat > /mnt/install_root/etc/fstab << "EOF"		<pre>cat > /mnt/install_root/etc/fstab << "EOF"
Line 93:		Line 93:
	EOF</pre>		EOF</pre>

	Be sure to ~~change~~ the first ~~three entries so that they correspond with your set up~~.		'''Notes:'''
			* Leave out the last line (defining a <code>devtmpfs</code>) if you are using LFScript 4 revision 12.
			* If you are not using the command above, but are editing <code>fstab</code> by hand, be sure to remove (or comment out) the existing first line, which defines the <code>rootfs</code>.
