I agree completely, and I say this having hit exactly the same problems as 
Bruce.  The issue, as I understand it, is that once complete, jhalfs throws you 
out of the chroot.  This results in /dev being emptied such that when you 
chroot back in pretty much everything is b0rked.

Maybe this is as easy to fix as adding another option to jhalfs menu 
configuration that reads something like 'Exit chroot on completion (default 
N)', then conditionally exiting the chroot based on that option?  The common 
use case here, I think, would be to be left in the chroot such that one can 
continue building BLFS.  Or maybe it's not, and I should get out of that bad 
habit and reboot into my shiny new jhalfs-built LFS and do things properly :-)

Regards,

Matt.
