This is for the configuration of silo, similar to what is in boot-scripts.
cat > ${CLFS}/etc/silo.conf << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/silo.conf
partition = 1 # Boot partition (= root partition)
root = /dev/sda1 # Root partition
timeout = 150 # Wait 15 seconds before booting the default section
image = /tools/boot/vmlinuz-clfs-3.14.13
label = linux
# End /etc/silo.conf
EOF
