I'll bet your 'sdb' is called 'sdb1' or has a uuid given to it by the Ubuntu kernel. Open a terminal in Ubuntu and run `dmesg` (You can pipe to `grep` and search for sdb if you don't want to read the whole thing.) Find where the Ubuntu kernel recognizes and mounts sdb and see what it's called. Then you can edit all the stuff in your LFS to reflect that--fstab, udev, etc.
I'm caught in the nether world between "old" and "new" grub and don't know if the "new" grub starts counting at 0 or not. I too am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and preparing to do another LFS build. I think that it's important for you to change all the references to your flash drive in the appropriate files in your LFS. I don't think changing just grub will get you completely booted. It probably would get you far enough so that you could check some logs though. Good luck.
