Your old grub install is probably on your MBR. If you want to keep it
but make it work with your new /boot/grub/menu.lst.

boot into grub's command line

grub> root (hdx,y)
   # where x is disk number and y is partition. This should be where
   # your lfs is

grub> find /boot/grub/stage1
   # to check you got the right partition

grub> setup (hdx)
   # this will setup grub on the MBR of disk x

Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and you're set.
