+I. Adding the filesystems layer to your build
+=================================================
+
+In order to use this layer, you need to make the build system aware of
+it.
+
+Assuming the filesystems layer exists at the top-level of your
+yocto build tree, you can add it to the build system by adding the
+location of the filesystems layer to bblayers.conf, along with any
+other layers needed. e.g.:
+
+  BBLAYERS ?= " \
+    /path/to/yocto/meta \
+    /path/to/yocto/meta-oe \
+    /path/to/yocto/meta-filesystems \
+    "
+
+
