# 11.3. Rebooting the System

Now that all of the software has been installed, it is time to reboot your computer. However, there are still a few things to check. Here are some suggestions:

- Install any firmware needed if the kernel driver for your hardware requires some firmware files to function properly.

- A review of the following configuration files is also appropriate at this point.

  - /etc/bashrc

  - /etc/dircolors

  - /etc/fstab

  - /etc/hosts

  - /etc/inputrc

  - /etc/profile

  - /etc/resolv.conf

  - /etc/vimrc

  - /root/.bash_profile

  - /root/.bashrc

Now that we have said that, let's move on to booting our shiny new LFS installation for the first time! First exit from the chroot environment:

    logout

Then unmount the virtual file systems:

    umount -v $LFS/dev/pts
    mountpoint -q $LFS/dev/shm && umount $LFS/dev/shm
    umount -v $LFS/dev
    umount -v $LFS/run
    umount -v $LFS/proc
    umount -v $LFS/sys

If multiple partitions were created, unmount the other partitions before unmounting the main one, like this:

    umount -v $LFS/home
    umount -v $LFS

Unmount the LFS file system itself:

    umount -v $LFS

Now, reboot the system.

Assuming the GRUB boot loader was set up as outlined earlier, the menu is set to boot LFS 11.3-systemd automatically.

When the reboot is complete, the LFS system is ready for use and more software may be added to suit your needs.
