Correction to previous commit, we want &linux-version2; entity where it is required. Do not use &linux-version; and &linux-version2; entities together. We just want Linux-3.14.10 where required, rather than LInux-3.14. And surely we do not want LInux-3.14-3.14.10.

[fb40919]23 <para os="c">Your shiny new CLFS system is almost complete. One of the last
[3f8be484]24 things to do is ensure you can boot it. The instructions below apply
[0935d01]25 only to Cobalt RaQ1/RaQ2/Cube2 servers. Information on <quote>boot
[3f8be484]26 loading</quote> for other architectures should be available in the
27 usual resource-specific locations for those architectures.</para>
