Fix this. You can't do LFS with dash, it won't work.

sudo ln -sf bash /bin/sh

No it isn't. Dash won't work for LFS.

You're a hero for even contemplating such a thing. If you build it
people will use it. It will be a lot of work and as you've already
found out, people will ask you to support things that you've never even
thought. On the plus side, you get to be the big cheese in your own
project.
If you start from another distro like Ubunut you'll have to do a lot of
work getting to know how they work. An alternative is to resurrect the
moribund LFS LiveCD. I think doing that would have a very steep initial
learning curve but once you got an initial version working you'd be
working from an LFS base so you wouldn't need to learn about another
distro.
Personally, I'd just run away if I were you ;)

 No it isn't. Dash won't work for LFS.

Dash can work, but I would suggest pasting the directions directly from 
the html to reduce error count. I built an LFS system from an Ubuntu 
livecd, and it just needs configuring now.

And that is why Google, Bing, Ask, etc. are the geek's best friends.

Fun trivia: Ubiquity (the Ubuntu installer) is gui-only. Therefore, when 
making a livecd based off of the server installation, there is no using 
any tool that relies on casper and ubiquity without losing the 
console-only interface. Whee..

   I realise that a separate /boot seems to be
 uncommon, even among LFS users, but the problem I had is mentioned
 only rarely, if at all, so maybe there is something else which
 contributed to it.  Perhaps it was even a bug in 1.97 (failed to
 find the files in $root/grub).
 
 Update - I did an install on a new machine today, using LFS-7.1 with
a separate /boot partition, and after building/installing grub-1.99
it did NOT need the symlink, so I guess it really was a grub-1.97
bug.

I didn't need it for 1.97.  I think it more likely that you had an issue 
with your customization.  In amy casy, I'm glad it's working for you now.
