Suggestion from Bruce, have been implemented.

I generated an ISO, which should be usefull in
case you need to fix your LFS.
yum and rpm is included within the ISO, such,
if a tools is missing, you can download it easy
enough. (size is 334 Mbytes)
URL:
https://okrepo.safe.ca/osukiss/8.3/isos/LFS-8.3-rescue-x86_64.iso

Hoping that help LFS users.

Much better.  I was able to boot this on my laptop.  It takes about 30
seconds to copy and set things up.  The iso size, only 334 MiB, is nice.

There are still a few issues:

1. The 'which' command is not present.  The workaround is to use 'type -p'

2. lspci is not present.

3. I'd like a way to set a default for language during the boot sequence
and possibly a font.  I like to use terminus fonts, specifically in my
case ter-128n.  http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/

4. It does not recognize either my wired or wireless card.  The output
of 'ls /sys/class/net'  is only 'lo'.  The wireless issue is probably
because firmware (iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode) is not available.  However, I
do not think that you should need to install firmware on the iso.

$ lspci|grep -i net
01:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 73)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet
(rev 10)

My kernel config for the wired connection is:

CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_ATHEROS=y
CONFIG_ATL2=m
CONFIG_ATL1=m
CONFIG_ATL1E=m
CONFIG_ATL1C=m
CONFIG_ALX=m

The ALX module is loaded in my case.

$ lsmod|grep alx
alx                    40960  0
mdio                   16384  1 alx

I will try this on a more generic system tomorrow at school.

Great work so far.

picutils will be part of next rescue-iso (my mistake)
'which' will be included too.

Included kernel is configured with the exact same config
as yours.....but.. CONFIG_ALX is NOT set!...
(see file /boot/config-4.18.1-0.10.29.ok_8.3 once
you have the iso booted).
This is mot likely the problem, as eudev is not able to discover
WIFI card and populate /sys/class/net

Let me generate a new rescue ISO including your findings.
(Many thanks).
