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.

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