LOL, I had moved on to 'joe' by the time I started using lfs.

The error is in grub.cfg - I suspect you have not copied the lfs
kernel to the debian /boot partition. So, if the lfs kernel is on
sda6 along with the lfs system, try
set root='hd0,6'
but ONLY do that in the lfs entry.

The kernel itself does not know about UUIDs. They are handled in
the initrd, and LFS does not use an initrd. For ext2/3/4 you can
_mount_ by label [ man e2label ] which allows things like this in
/etc/fstab :
LABEL=home /home auto defaults,noatime 1 2
but I believe the grub entry still needs to point to root=/dev/sdaX
and therefore it would not help.
Also, for LFS the UUID stuff in grub.cfg is not needed, and will
cause pain if you ever have to restore backups to a new disk.
