So partitionning correctly another disk, dd source to dest to copy all
partitions and install grub again fixed the issue.
I am now able to boot on my lfs disk.
Quick note, although the support on the mailing list is great, it wouldn't
hurt to tell people who makes a separate /boot partition to hav

If you are using GPT partitions, the BIOS boot partition is a guard
for the real GPT partitions. It is not the same as a partition
where you put /boot. See my follow-up post from earlier about
adding extra things to grub.cfg. The /boot partition can be any of
the partitions,

That is not correct. The grub.cfg file specifies the /boot directory.
For example 'set root (hd1,3)' would set the /boot directory as sdb3
assuming that /boot is a stand-alone partition.

Yes i did, but if i don't use the parted command i cannot run grub-install,

Hi, Thibaut
I guess you've figured out there's a lot of confusion about how you set
things up originally with Virtual Box and the disk drives. Perhaps if
you could explain that clearly, we could give you a better answer. We

Hi guys, i managed to get to the end of the lfs build.
The problem i have now is that my /boot is on a separate partition and
unfortunatly the book doesn't tell me much for this situation.
I don't get what is happening because i managed to install grub
