I am assuming that everything is cool with LFS up to this point and am
thinking that I am going to create a boot partition. I do have 1 or 2
questions about this though before we proceed. First:

does every Linux distro search for the boot partition first?

then

when modifying fstab what do I put into it for the options? Here is the
current lfs fstab

/dev/sda6      /            ext4     defaults            1     1
/dev/sda7      swap         swap     pri=1               0     0
proc           /proc        proc     nosuid,noexec,nodev 0     0
sysfs          /sys         sysfs    nosuid,noexec,nodev 0     0
devpts         /dev/pts     devpts   gid=5,mode=620      0     0
tmpfs          /run         tmpfs    defaults            0     0
devtmpfs       /dev         devtmpfs mode=0755,nosuid    0     0

my only guess would be:

<boot partition>  /boot  ext4    defaults  1   1
