What I have done is to build a grub CD that also includes copies of the kernel and initrd from the desired root device. Grub can then use the same BIOS I/O to start the kernel and the kernel will have the device support for the BIOS-inaccessible root device. --

There's an LFS hint describing how to boot LFS without requiring a separate partition (i.e., in the same file system as another operating system). The trick is a special pre-init program that does a chroot early in the boot process (automatically, rather than manually as Russell Stockhammer
