It sounds like agetty is not being run.  It's also possible that you 
don't have the terminal drivers installed in the kernel.  What does 
/etc/inittab look like?

Did you create the /bin/sh link?

Do you get any other output, e.g. "Mounting kernel-based file systems:"
What is the content of /etc/sysconfig?

I don't know what the rc.0, rc.1, etc files are in your rc.d directory 
are.  They are not a part of LFS.

Try removing all files/directories in /etc/rc.d and /etc/sysconfig and 
reinstalling those from the bootscripts tarball.

Yes, that it intentional.  Those are all you need to get a basic system 
like LFS up.  There are more added in BLFS depending on what you install.

I have an ongoing project to revise the boot process description in the 
book.  I'll be making some substantial changes to the book in this area 
in the next few weeks.
