I have other problems, tho. I am building this to an external drive and I have mount problems. I get the device name as root, but the media name as user. And my files 'sources', 'tools' are only visible to root.
I have to figure-out /etc/fstab... probably to not mount at all, and then do manual mount - because we have /mnt/lfs.... when ultimately, if I can ever be successful - grub will need to see /dev/sdb2 - which currently is only accessible by root. I just did a 'chown -R lsf:lsf /mnt/lsf.... need to put it back to root:root and try to figure-out the mount situation. My build is Debian. I am interested in LFS because of all the craziness (lack of control).
