You are right about the text in 7.7.1. There was a change between rc1
and the final release and this was missed. /etc/sysconfig/init_params
should be /etc/sysconfig/rc.site.
The /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file is only present for backward BLFS
compatibility, but it should not source anything. It is not used in
LFS. The sequence is:
inittab calls /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc
rc sources /lib/lsb/init_functions
init_functions sources /etc/sysconfig/rc.site (if used)
Other bootscripts also source /lib/lsb/init_functions.
I will make an errata entry and update the current development book.
Thanks for the report.
