These first two steps are fine. If you haven't already wiped out and
started over could you post your "configuration" file from the jhalfs
directory in your home directory.

Ok this is not right. When using jhalfs you do not change to the lfs
user manually the Makefile takes care of that on it's own via sudo.
Plus you do not specify any targets to make.
The ideal procedure is after you've done the first two steps above:
cd /mnt/lfs/jhalfs
make
That's it.

Neither of these are necessary. See my notes above.

No, through Chapter 3 is sufficient.

In that menu, if you highlight that selection then push the enter key,
it will give you an editable prompt, then you will have to type in
America/Chicago manually.
