Finally got lfs-6.2 running on my box. I originally had a problem booting. I am using the GRUB that was originally installed on my 1st drive by Ubuntu so all I had to do was add to the existing menu.lst in /boot/grub in my Ubuntu install. I at first had an issue with typos on the root device and then it would not find the kernel in /boot until I changed the kernel statement from what was in the book, "/boot/lfskernel-2.6.16.27 root=/dev/sdb3" to "/lfskernel-2.6.16.27 root=/dev/sdb3". I had made a separate partition for boot. Now the only problem that I'm aware of is my delete key doesn't work, although I think I may have fixed it just haven't had time to boot lfs to check it.
