The current sources allow you to choose your spot by running
a "configure" script (don't shudder, it's not one of the
GNU configure monsters).

I'm the other persion who ran into this.

It isn't really pretty.
If you bring up the tool - after the initial build of the
bootstrap, i.e., you have the ...whatever-path.../lfs-harness,
you can give LSB.phase2.xml or LSB.phase3.xml as the arg,
depending on which one you need to restart. phase2 is the full
build environment, phase3 is the target LSB SI. With the
cursor on the toplevel element, hit the enter key to
open up. Repeat as needed. Run the "mount" steps if
you need to (i.e. if things have unmounted) by
putting the cursor on them and 's' followed by 'c' to start.
Then drop down to the first "chroot" step, open it up,
and rerun the bits that you need to the same way ('s', then 'c').
This seems to work for me, anyway.
I also ran into a problem by not being logged in as root,
so run this stuff either logged in as root, or make sure
you do "su -", because some minor bits of the build
will fail if /usr/sbin isn't part of the search path.
I believe a future release will take more steps to
protect us against ourselves in this area :-)
I'm presuming that when the corner cases are shaken out
there will be out great big tarball that's the "official"
si and we won't be building it ourselves.
