The root parameter for the kernel is your LFS root, not the Grub root.

If you're using a patched Grub (as used in many distros to show splashscreens) I've found that it doesn't behave as described in the documents in terms of where it searches for menu.lst. Also, it sounds like your setup(hd0) failed somehow, as you should at least see grub loading message at boot.
