+Next, edit the <path>/etc/fstab</path> file so that the line containing
+<path>/boot</path> as second field has the first field pointing to the right
+device. If the partitioning example from the handbook is followed, then this
+device is most likely <path><keyval id="/boot"/></path> with the ext2 file
+system. This would make the entry in the file look like so:

+<pre caption="Editing /etc/fstab for the /boot entry">
+# <i>nano -w /etc/fstab</i>
+...
+<keyval id="/boot"/>	/boot	ext2	defaults	0 2
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The remainder of the <path>/etc/fstab</path> will be updated in the next section,
+but as <c>genkernel</c> reads this information we need to update the
+<path>/boot</path> line up front.

+<p>
 Now, compile your kernel sources by running <c>genkernel all</c>. Be aware
 though, as <c>genkernel</c> compiles a kernel that supports almost all
 hardware, this compilation will take quite a while to finish!
