I heeded the very *first* warning in Chap 8.4.  All of the grub 
configuration/information is in the /boot directory in the mint 
partition.  I didn't install grub on LFS.

Then there is this, from grub info:

* At least on BIOS systems, if you tell `grub-install' to install grub 
to a partition but grub has already been installed in the master boot 
record, then the grub installation in the partition will be ignored.

Anyway, I went ahead and installed grub and overwrote the MBR. Booted 
fine, but mkconfig did not find the mint or win7 partitions.  I copied 
over the menu entries from the mint partition and all is ok.

Thanks,
