In the rc script, I think the change you made will set IN_BOOT

The Linux From Scratch community is pleased to announce the release of
LFS Version 7.0-rc1. This is the first release candidate on the road to
LFS-7.0. It includes numerous changes to LFS-6.8 (including updates to
Linux-3.0.4, GCC-4.6.1, and Glibc-2.14).
A somewhat major change was made in this

I've noticed that there is a spurious file, /t, created in the latest
builds of LFS. The file is 2 bytes long, a 0xff followed by a newline.
It is a file generated by one of the tests in grep. I'm not sure how to
find which test. It appears to be harmless and the easiest way to
address it is
