I deviate from the book, and install LILO, GRUB's configuration is to wishy washy for my likes.
but you dont use the bootloader to run the livecd, either burn the iso to media and point GRUB to it when you finish, or use an existing Linux distro to build from.

It appears that English is not your first language?
If you want to install Linux then you need an install method, like a CD or DVD. Pick a distro ( Debian, Fedora, etc. ) and then go to their web site and read. I suggest trying 'Debian debootstrap', search Google. The scope of an install is beyond a forum. You start with a bootable medium.

Grub-0.97 won't work with a 64 bit system. Use grub-1.97.2 like in the development version of LFS
