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.
