Argh, dang it.  This was also an issue before we were using the lfs user
in chapter 5 (pre-3.2) and we use to run chown.  It seems that after the
kernel was moved to chapter 6, nobody bothered to check if those old
instructions were still needed.  (thou that's understandable considering
they had been removed as redundant because of the lfs user)"	defect	closed	highest		Book	CVS	normal	fixed
