You're welcome, but the book does cover it: a 'Note' at the bottom
of 6.4 (Entering the Chroot Environment).

Ah, your distro must have enabled automounting (one of my pet
hates).  For the next time (if you build LFS again from such a
distro), when you become root to set things up at the start, if the
filesystem is already mounted you can just
 mkdir -pv /mnt/lfs
and
 mount --bind /media/username/whatever /mnt/lfs

bind mounting is very useful ;)  I sometimes use it when I want to
build in a directory to test/debug possible changes in my LFS
buildscripts.
