Unless anyone has any easier suggestions, I'm going to suggest that
you start over. If your lfs user still has the command history,
look at that before you restart, in case anything now jumps out and
says "whoops!".
For a restart, save all the sources and patches so that you don't
need to download them again. Then make a new filesystem for
/mnt/lfs. If your distro insists on mounting the new filesystem
under /media, then get a root shell (you need that anyway during the
build, even on ubuntu which hates letting users get root shells) and
bind it to /mnt/lfs (mount --bind : man mount).
I agree with Ken. Start over and follow the book closely. If needed,
install sudo on the host to help doing those commands that require root.
We can help with the configuration if needed, but you should also be able
to do everything needed with su.
If your distro is not cooperating, we can help overcome those issues.
One thing to keep in mind is that for testing we have automated extraction
of the commands from the book. The instructions in the book work without
modification. When you start changing things, you are likely to run into
problems as documented in your requests for help.
