Mike, any partition can have the boot flag ON/OFF.
The boot loader (GRUB) will choose what partition to boot from, and at that
point, the boot flag *MIGHT* become an issue.
With that said, the reason why you build LFS on it's own partition is
because, if you don't, you'll have to move it after
but wait!
