+    <para>The location of the boot partition is a choice of the user that
+    affects the configuration.  One recommendation is to have a separate small
+    (suggested size is 200 MB) partition just for boot information.  That way
+    each build, whether LFS or some commercial distro, can access the same boot
+    files and access can be made from any booted system.  If you choose to do
+    this, you will need to mount the separate partition, move all files in the
+    current <filename class="directory">/boot</filename> directory (e.g. the
+    linux kernel you just built in the previous section) to the new partition.
+    You will then need to unmount the partition and remount it as <filename
+    class="directory">/boot</filename>.  If you do this, be sure to update
+    <filename>/etc/fstab</filename>.</para>
