If you have LFS working on a hard drive then you can probably use LifeBoat to create a bootable cd-rom:

Your bios should be able to boot from a CD but it's doubtfull that you'd be able to boot from a USB socket as you need to load the kernel to run the USB core and you're stuck in a chicken and egg situation. Without the kernel loaded (to run the USB core), you can't load the kernel...

Im not sure of the working of LFS, its something i am just about to start working on. But since its possible to boot linux from usb (bios permitting) shouldn't it be possible to patch the kernel when using LFS so as to delay the boot process and allow time to initialise usb subsystem?

similar thing suggested here:

Linux Live is also quite nice. I used it with my LFS build and it works quite nicely.
