Is /boot a separate partition? If so, then remove /boot from the linux
line. Otherwise run 'ls -lh /boot' to ensure vmlinuz-5.8.3-lfs-10.0
exists and looks like it is about the right size (probably inthe
5-10 MB
range).
I copied the image to /boot on the host system and I was able to boot.
Partially. Now the boot process gets stuck with this message:
[ 1.148228] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to
mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) ]---
Note that /dev/sda1 is probably not correct if you also have another
distro on the first drive.
What is the output of 'fdisk /dev/sda' ? Which is your LFS partition?
