Okay, it crashed and burned gloriously, and I botched the grub to boot. ;-)
After some studies on grub, I can now boot my distro Debian from the primary hard drive via grub commands...very cool. I can also attempt to boot my LFS from auxiliary hard drive, and it starts to boot up, and I see four penguins, a screen's worth of boot messages, and then it freezes up. Questions: Firstly, there is /dev, but it only has console and null in it, which was created earlier per the book. Is that sufficient? Is /dev populated more as the boot progresses? Seems deficient. Secondly, I don't see any initrd.img file. Do I need one? Here's what I see in /boot: config-3.13.3 grub System-map-3.13.3 vmlinuz-3.13.3-lfs-7.5 I just did "make defconfig" when building the kernel. I figure that would be the easiest way to test...and just to see if it works. Maybe I need to load a better driver for auxiliary USB hard drives, etc., and somehow make that apart of the kernel building, but I would need to study more on that aspect. Any ideas on how best to proceed and troubleshoot? Thanks. ~Patrick
