[fb40919]18  <para os="a">Your shiny new CLFS system is almost complete. One of the last
[3f8be484]19  things to do is to ensure that the system can be properly booted. The
[4e60ea5]20  instructions below apply only to computers of x86 and x86_64 architecture,
[3f8be484]21  meaning mainstream PCs. Information on <quote>boot loading</quote> for
22  other architectures should be available in the usual resource-specific
23  locations for those architectures.</para>
24
25  <para os="b">Boot loading can be a complex area, so a few cautionary words
26  are in order. Be familiar with the current boot loader and any other
27  operating systems present on the hard drive(s) that need to be bootable.
28  Make sure that an emergency boot disk is ready to <quote>rescue</quote>
29  the computer if the computer becomes unusable (un-bootable).</para>

[4e60ea5]31  <warning os="w1">
[3f8be484]32    <para>The following command will overwrite the current boot loader.
33    Do not run the command if this is not desired, for example, if using
34    a third party boot manager to manage the Master Boot Record (MBR).
35    In this scenario, it would make more sense to install GRUB into the
[fb40919]36    <quote>boot sector</quote> of the CLFS partition. In this case, this
[4e60ea5]37    next command would become <userinput>grub-install /dev/sda2</userinput>
