First, the obligatory "please don't top post" (and trim what you
are replying to) message.
I don't remember any messages about setting up the gateway in any
version of LFS, so I suspect that you are booting the LFS kernel but
with the ubuntu userspace. If you don't have a root= parameter in
that grub entry, add one pointing to the LFS partition. If you do
have one, check that it is pointing to the right partition.
After that, booting with init=/bin/bash is the way to diagnose
problems - you start with the root mounted read-only, and have to
step through the scripts in-order until you find what breaks.

Problem resolved. The /etc/inittab file I posted before is not correct. I am
working on BLFS now.
