Ok what happens when you type grub
you should see
grub>
then type at the prompt
root (hd1,3)
It should say:
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
If that is working the grub can see and connect to your LFS partition.
setup (hd,0)
will then overwrite the first drive boot loader (Windows drive)
>From this point you will need to have the menu.lst file correct or you
will only be able to boot LFS.
Make sure that this is in your menu.lst
title Windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
You will need to copy the Ubuntu section from the menu.lst
on /dev/sdb2 /boot filesystem or Ubuntu won't boot.
I had similar trouble and I downloaded and burned the LFS Live CD and
booted that. I then could "install and setup" grub, I just could not
get it to work from host system or from chroot. After I installed and
setup grub using the LFS LiveCD all was fine.
Hope this helps.
