  | Root on LFS won't work on i386 because the bootblocks expect /boot to be
  | in a fixed position in the filessystem.  Under LFS, /boot can be moved
  | around by the filesystem...

Surely the cleaner could just be fixed to look see if there's a boot block
that refers to blocks in the filesystem it is cleaning, and if so, update
the boot block whenever it moves the blocks it refers to (ie: /boot, though
the cleaner doesn't need to know that).

The other option (of somehow marking the /boot blocks as not being moveable)
seems sub-optimal to me.

Keeping on requiring boot out of an ffs is permanently relegating lfs to
2nd class status.
