thanks for the help, but I got bored with it and started over.... i hadn't followed the book that much towards the end, and i have wanted to try out ALFS.

When I built my LFS system, i got the GRUB error 18 message at stage
1.5. i looked this up and saw something about my disk was beyond the
scope of the BIOS or something (the meaning of error 18). First, can
i have a clarification of my problem and second, a way to fix it? my
disk has
- hda1 as my LFS system
- hda2 as a Windows partition
- hda3 as a swap
- hda4 as unused, ext3 formatted space

each partition is 60GB, excepting the swap which is about 16GB

Setup looks sane. I'm not familiar with the GRUB errors. /boot
directory is on hda1, correct? Could you show /boot/grub/menu.lst?
Let's make sure the basics are in place before exploring what's up
with your BIOS, etc.
