There's an LFS hint describing how to boot LFS without requiring a separate partition (i.e., in the same file system as another operating system). The trick is a special "pre-init" program that does a chroot early in the boot process (automatically, rather than manually as Russell Stockhammer sugg

You can't "boot" into a sub-directory of a file system but you could do the following 1) Configure grub to boot the kernel in the /mnt/lfs directory with the current root file system as a the root directory 2) Boot grub and pass the command "init=/mnt/lfs/bin/sh" this will run the LFS
