You used $BDUX ? If ur using the instructions given in the book u should be using sudo chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$' PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin /bin/bash --login the $LFS variable instead. Anyhow if u used $BDUX instead try this command echo $BDUX and tell me if it shoows the path to ur lfs partition /mnt/lfs or whatever partition u used to install lfs.
