You could try Smart Boot Manager

Which will run from a floppy and let you boot from the CD, but I'm not sure
your laptop has enough memory or processor speed for building LFS.
My solution was to use the first cd of Slackware 10.2 to create the
Smart Boot Manager floppy, boot off the cd to use cfdisk to create the
partitions and activate the swap (which is needed by the SuSE installer
since 40MB is not enough memory). I'm currently installing the minimum
graphical system for SuSE 9.3 Pro on the first half of the hard drive.
Later I will set up the Blackbox Window Manager, tweak the SuSE
installation a lot and transfer the source files over from the LiveCD.
This is a Saturday project. So an old P100 laptop doesn't bother me. I
spent most of the day cleaning the apartment when I wasn't needed at the
laptop. Multitasking is the way to go! ;)
