+Unless this has already been done, you must partition, and then format
+the target partition.
Preferably, assign partitions a label so that you can easily and
reliably refer to them in @code{file-system} declarations (@pxref{File
Systems}). This is typically done using the @code{-L} option of
@command{mkfs.ext4} and related commands.
-A typical command sequence may be:
-
-@example
-# fdisk /dev/sdX
-@dots{} Create partitions etc.@dots{}
-# cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sdX1
-# cryptsetup open --type luks /dev/sdX1 my-partition
-# mkfs.ext4 -L my-root /dev/mapper/my-partition
