Hi,
I think it's necessary a more detailed kernel section.

###
suggested supports to be added
###

CONFIG_PROC_FS:
/proc file system support
-There is no way to mount proc file system

CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE:
VGA text console
-At the beginning, due to the fact that there is no support for
video console, the system results in kernel panic when trying to
display kernel messages.

CONFIG_ZLIB_INFLATE:
zlib decompression support
-Without this support, the Kernel is not able to decompress the root
file system and the system results in kernel panic when trying to
read it.

###
optional feature
###

CONFIG_TMPFS:
-Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs)


Since it's possible to populate the entire root file system leaving
no free space, it would be better to mount other ones on /home,
/root, /tmp and /var. The above feature support a "flexible
virtual file system". All you need is to include something like the
following line on fstab file (tmpfs.txt, kernel documentation):

/mountpoint   /dev/shm  tmpfs    defaults    0 0


#### I have just taken a look to the guide ####

####
On chapter 2
####

mkdir -p /mnt/boot/grub


###
On "more" script 
###
