Hey, folks. I'm LOVING LFS and have been plugging away at it - learning a lot, but I think I'm getting into the nitty gritty and my greenness might be starting to show. :P

Theres a note in the docs:
In some cases such as when MAC addresses have been assigned to a network card manually or in a virtual environment such as Qemu or Xen, the network rules file may not have been generated because addresses are not consistently assigned. In these cases, this method cannot be used.

And sure enough, when I run

bash /usr/lib/udev/init-net-rules.sh

there is no

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

file output. I am running under Proxmox, so I wonder if thats the reason it doesn't crank out like a normal install - theres a note, but it doesn't say where or how to get the info I need to move along. Any suggestions?

Furthermore - I think this is where the rubber meets the road and things are gonna get a bit harder from here on out. Am I correct? I'm understanding things a little bit less, as I read ahead while trying to get beyond my current issue.

I'm really excited and having fun with LFS - I want to make it thru LFS and BLFS, so any help you might suggest would be great.

I got past that part... but am now stuck again.

At the boot process. What I did, originally, is load up a Proxmox Debian VM install. But then, I ADDED a disk for LFS... and built LFS on /dev/sdb - the new disk... so now, I have debian on /dev/sda - and I thought I could just remove that drive... but when I do, LFS doesn't boot. I did NOT install the last step - GRUB, because it was confusing to me and LFS docs said I didn't *need* it to BOOT, but... when I boot with only that sdb Virtual Drive loaded, it finds no BOOT device...

What info can I post below to help you help me? Do people answer LFS questions here - or, where is the best place to go for LFS help?

Section 10.4.1 Warning is quite clear and you removed your host along with the grub it was booting from.
Why this is a mystery to you I don't know.

if you are building in a vm you should snapshot regularly just in case, also it would have been easier to just increase the size ofthe vm disk and create another partition for lfs and dual boot, that way if things get fubar'ed you can use the original host to fix things, 'corse all this is a bit late now, still, using lfs is a process.
Keep going!

When you removed sda you removed the boot loader for the vm. No bootloader on sdb, no booting the system. Is this a legacy or efi booting vm? If you don't know, re-insert sda, boot the system, as root post the output of
