I'm going through Linux From Scratch v6.4, and I'm on Chapter 8.4.  Currently, 
I'm running Linux completely off of an external hard drive, while I'm also 
building my Linux From Scatch build onto a seperate partition on that disk.  
The laptop already has one hard drive in it, but I'm not really touching it.

Here's what happens:

grub> root (hd0,4)

Error 21: Selected disk does not exist


And here's my fdisk -l from the host system...  

Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders

Disk identifier: 0xbd7bbd7b

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *           1        7296    58605088+   7  HPFS/NTFS



As I said, we're on the external hard drive, sda.  I'm not really sure what 
sda2 is, so I've just sorta been ignoring it.  sda5 is the LFS build, while 
sda6 is the host system.  I'm completely ignoring sdb1.

So, what am I doing wrong that's causing Grub to not setup?  Thanks!
