Comment (by Bruce Dubbs):
While I understand what your motivations are, I'm not sure that we really
need to do this. There are several issues regarding the transition from
LFS to BLFS that we don't address comprehensively. These include wireless
connectivity and dhcp.
From my point of view sudo, wget (along with make-ca), and ssh are also
pretty critical packages. I did address all these issues in my article at
https://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/external-lfs.
At a presentation I made a couple of weeks ago I was asked what a user
could do with a base LFS system. My answer was "Build more packages."
From the standpoint of UEFI, perhaps the easiest way to do an initial boot
is to not install GRUB at all, but to use what is installed for the host
unless you are going to have a dedicated bootable drive.
