| 14 | <para>Your shiny new LFS system is almost complete. One of the last things to
|
|---|
| 15 | do is ensure you can boot it. The instructions below apply only to
|
|---|
| 16 | Colbalt RaQ2/Cube2 servers. Information on <quote>boot
|
|---|
| 17 | loading</quote> for other architectures should be available in the usual
|

| 18 | resource-specific locations for those architectures.</para>

| 20 | <para>Boot loading can be a complex area. First, a few cautionary words. You
|
|---|
| 21 | really should be familiar with your current boot loader and any other
|
|---|
| 22 | operating systems present on your hard drive(s) that you might wish to keep
|
|---|
| 23 | bootable. Please make sure that you have an emergency boot disk ready, so that
|
|---|
| 24 | you can rescue your computer if, by any chance, your computer becomes unusable
|
|---|
| 25 | (un-bootable).</para>

| 27 | <para>Earlier, we compiled and installed the Cobalt boot loader software in
|

| 28 | preparation for this step. Now we will configure our system to boot using
|

| 29 | Colo. Here is a simpe default.colo to use.</para>
