I would have identical entries in each /boot/grub/menu.lst file for both Mandrake and LFS. This would be done without running <setup>.

Is my logic correct?  (Have I begun to learn GRUB :)?

Looks good, sounds like you know what you're doing, but your Mandrake entry looks a bit bare. I think it should at least need a root=/dev/hdb1
I have something like this for Mandrake


title Mandrake
kernel (hd0,12)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda13 devfs=nomount splash=silent
initrd (hd0,12)/boot/initrd.img

Yes, you're right , you don't need to run grub, just edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
I have a separate partition with sources, documents, photos and stuff on which doesn't change. I installed grub's menu.lst on that partition so I don't need to reinstall it, I just edit it when needed
