Ethereum Genesis Block Private Network

I am trying to mine on a private network.

How does one go about creating a genesis block for a private network in frontier ethereum?

I have seen: https://blog.ethereum.org/2015/07/27/final-steps/ but this is to get the public Genesis block.

What is the Ethereum Genesis block?

A Genesis Block is the name given to the first block a cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, ever mined. A blockchain consists of a series of so-called blocks that are used to store information related to transactions that occur on a blockchain network.

Can you build a private blockchain on Ethereum?

Therefore, to become a node in the Ethereum network, your computer will have to download and update a copy of the entire blockchain. You can build a “private” Ethereum network rather than the public network which can be used to make transactions and build smart contracts without needing real Ether.

When was Genesis block for Ethereum?

On 30 July 2015, "Frontier" marked the official launch of the Ethereum platform, and Ethereum created its "genesis block". The genesis block contained 8,893 transactions allocating various amounts of ether to different addresses, and a block reward of 5 ETH.
