# Adding an entry to LILO

In order to being able to boot from this partition, we need to update our /etc/lilo.conf file. Add the following lines to lilo.conf by running:

`cat >> /etc/lilo.conf << "EOF"`
image=/boot/lfskernel
label=lfs
root=<partition>
read-only
`EOF`

<partition> must be replaced by your partition's designation (which would be /dev/hda5 in my case).

Now update the boot loader by running:

> `/sbin/lilo`
