Sorry for being unclear, this error is occurring when I use the "root (hd1,3)" command in section 8.4 to make the system bootable. I am aware of the different naming scheme, lfs is on partition sdb4 which (I think) corresponds to hd1,3, although I don't think that is the problem because I get the same error when I root (hd0, TAB so it appears as if GRUB doesn't recognize that hard drive either. The partition set up sda1-Window sdb1-Data sdb2-Ubuntu sdb3-swap sdb4-LFS
Sorry if this doesn't show up in the right thread location, I'm new at this.
