You can't "boot" into a sub-directory of a file system but you could do the
following....
1) Configure grub to boot the kernel in the /mnt/lfs directory with the current
root file system as a the root directory
2) Boot grub and pass the command "init=/mnt/lfs/bin/sh" this will run the LFS
bash shell instead of the current/host init.
3) Once the kernel has booted and you are dropped into the shell run; "exec
chroot /mnt/lfs exec /sbin/init". This will chroot into the /mnt/lfs system
and start init as if the kernel started it at boot.
NOTE: the "exec" is important because init -MUST- be run as PID 1.
