every time I need to login to LFS I enter this text:

   export LFS=/mnt/lfs
   mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/lfs
   mount -v --bind /sources /sources
   mount -v --bind /dev $LFS/dev
   mount -vt devpts devpts $LFS/dev/pts -o gid=5,mode=620
   mount -vt proc proc $LFS/proc
   mount -vt sysfs sysfs $LFS/sys
   mount -vt tmpfs tmpfs $LFS/run

   chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i              \
       HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' \
       PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin     \
       /bin/bash --login

so it seems I am chrooted  for the install.
