 ERT is a way for add a latex command in lyx.
 In this moment I am not in my computer and I don´t
 remember exactly the command.
 You can try with this:
 click in ERT in menu bar,
 write this command in ERT box:

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protectnumber{Abstract}}
 
 The last argument is the title that you want.
 
 I don´t speak English.
 I don´t remember how spell protectnumber.
 
 If it no work try with
 \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Abstract}

No: The abstract environment does not exist in the book class. (It does
exist in amsbook.) Of course, you can define such an environment
yourself, of just use some other environment (say, quote) at the
appropriate point.
