Specifically, the system was set up the following way: root@debian:/mnt/lfs# fdisk -l /dev/sda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 12 96358+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 * 13 2502 20000925 83 Linux /dev/sda3 2503 2751 2000092+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 2752 30394 222042397+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 2752 6486 30001356 83 Linux /dev/sda6 6487 30394 192040978+ 83 Linux ...and fstab, # Begin /etc/fstab # file system mount-point type options dump fsck # order /dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/sda3 swap swap pri=1 0 0 /dev/sda5 /opt ext3 defaults 1 0 /dev/sda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=4,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /run tmpfs defaults 0 0 # End /etc/fstab OK, I think I see my disconnect-- the new system is available via the /tools --> /mnt/lfs/tools link. So in my case, since I intend to use a separate /boot partition, the newly-compiled kernel needs to be copied from /mnt/lfs/boot to /boot and I should be good to go?
