Is it me or is the first paragraph in section 8.4.3 in LFS-6.7 badly worded? It sounds to me it's suggesting how to add the new LFS-6.7 installation to the existing GRUB simply by exiting the chroot environment and then going back into the chroot environment. "To accomplish this, you will need to

In section 6.2.1 we create a couple of device nodes: a console device, and a null device. Then in the following section we mount /dev of the host platform to be mirrored at $LFS/dev. What's the point of creating the 2 devices in section 6.2.1 if the devices will appear anyways in the mirrored dev

Thanks for all your tips, advice, lectures, opinions, etc. Very positive community. I think I'm going to enjoy my LFS experience.
