<para>Build firmware blobs into the kernel. Some drivers may
require the firmwares to be in-kernel if the driver is not built
as module.</para>
<note>
<para>
The kernel binaries with third-party blobs are not
distributable. If you distribute such a kernel binary to
others, you may violate GPL. It's recommended to remove the
temporary kernel image after you've successfully boot your LFS
system with the new kernel image, which will be installed in
<xref linkend="ch-bootable-kernel"/>.

<para>The building system will search

you'll need to install the needed firmwares into

and manually replace <envar>$LFS</envar> with the value in
configuration. The firmwares in
<filename class="directory">$LFS/lib/filename</filename> will be
copied to the target machine along with the system, so kernel and
kernel modules which will be built in
