So that jhalfs is able to replace it with something
The bug only affects BIOS.  So if the user has not built grub for BIOS,
(s)he won't use BIOS and the sed is not needed; if the user has built
grub for BIOS, the sed should have been already executed when (s)he was
building grub for BIOS.

So in either case, we don't need to repeat the sed in the EFI sections.
Defining UGA as "UGA Draw Protocol" seems an infinite recursion.
…stem

Technically the swap partition does not contain a file system, thus
"formatting" seems puzzling.  And the next section is using a better
terminology "initialized" (copied from the man page of mkswap).
There's only one section (BIOS) before 64-bit UEFI.

- Use "firmware setup" instead of "BIOS": in the context of the grub
  page "BIOS" almost always means "MBR boot," but here it means the
  firmware setup interface.
- We may manipulate any EFI variable (unless the firmware makes it read
  only) by directly writing the efivarfs, but GRUB needs efibootmgr.
- We don't necessarily install LFS into the same disk where ESP exists.
"UEFI bootloaders" normally stands for things like GRUB or systemd-boot,
instead of firmware.  And it seems we are using "standard" location
instead of "hardcoded" location elsewhere.
Fix the explanation for CSM (here M stands for Module, not Mode).

Keep the terminology "BIOS" soly for "booting via MBR" and use
"firmware" instead for other purposes.
Make the commands more concise, and remove the explicit GCC version
number to make people easier trying a new GCC version.
The kernel itself already guarantees the order of [eou]hci_hcd since
Linux 3.13 (12 years ago!).

Twice in the past span of a year, Arch Linux has updates to new versions
of software rather quickly that causes LFS to be impossible without
modifications. The first instance was updating to GCC-15.1, of which
that disaster may be repeated with GCC-16.1. The second, most recent,
instance is that they updated to Linux-7. This changed behavior of
rseq, tables, and the ABI feature from 32 to 33, which messes with
Glibc, meaning users will need to use a host that has Linux <= 6.19.x
for now.

This distructive nature needs to be explained to the users to help to
prevent them from using broken hosts.

So many issues have popped up over on Discord and Reddit, and as an
aside and personal vent, I've been getting pretty tired of it each time
Arch pulls off something like this when it clearly isn't time yet.

The Gentoo GUI LiveCD (and Gentoo itself in general) is a good example
of how to treat the software set, and too not update too early.

Remove a sed conflicting with the patch (it's actually doing the same
thing as a part of the patch).
It's no longer just Linux-7 related.

Actually, it is an "XML" source, not a "SVN" (or "GIT") source

Update to iana-etc-20260529.
… hacking it

Also reorder the explanations to match the order of switches in the
instruction.
The effect is the same, but systemctl mask is more declarative and
it's better to show an example of that.
In chapter09/systemd-custom.xsl the creation of a symlink for
/etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount was removed.  That makes the warning
about creating the symlink when /tmp is a separate partition
no longer needed.

This commit also corrects a a very minor typo in a comment.
Doing so is not strictly needed but it improves the consistency and
saves some CPU cycles building LFS.  It may also potentially avoid a
build failure in case GCC pass 2 fixincludes breaks a pattern in a
header from some release of glibc or kernel.
