Hi,
Would it be possible to enhance the book's coverage of using a separate
/boot partition? I found this particularly challenging when it came time
to boot the system. The book suggests in section 2.2.1.3. Convenience
Partitions that having a small 100M partition is highly recommended, but
then does not explain how to create a corresponding grub.cfg file in
section 8.
Do you know how to create a partition? Format it? Mount it? All the
instructions are in Chapter 2 of LFS. It should not be a giant leap to
do that for /boot or /home or any other partition.
Actually, /boot does not have to be mounted to use it. It only needs to
be there when you install grub or to add a new kernel or edit
/boot/grub/grub.cfg.
