<title>Creating the /etc/fstab file</title>
<para>
In order for certain programs to be able to determine where certain
partitions are supposed to be mounted by default, the /etc/fstab file is
used. Create a new file <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> containing the
following:
</para>
<literallayout>
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/fstab &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
# Begin /etc/fstab
/dev/&lt;LFS-partition designation&gt; / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/&lt;swap-partition designation&gt; swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# End /etc/fstab
<userinput>EOF</userinput>
</literallayout>
<para>
Replace &lt;LFS-partition designation&gt; and &lt;swap-partition
designation&gt; with the appropriate devices (/dev/hda5 and /dev/hda6 in my
case).
</para>
