I understand your thought, but I think it better for the book to explain
what is going on in a way similar to more traditional distros.
I personally generate grub.cfg once and then edit from then on. I did
some experimenting to get an image to come up in grub and using
grub-mkconfig would break that.
Really, the only things that need to change are menuentry items. If you
set root=(hd0,1) outside of the menuentry, then that degenerates down to
one line:
menuentry "LFS SVN 20100627, Linux 2.6.34" {
linux /linux-2.6.34 root=/dev/sda13 ro
}
