I'm using something similar on my iBook. I have two different versions
of linux, one is installed directly on /, and annother is in /TH.
Following configuration works for me:

[yaboot.conf snippet]

image=/TH/boot/vmlinuz
	label=th
	root=/dev/hda5
	append="5 noisapnp i8042.nopnp init=/TH/boot/init"
	read-only
	initrd=/TH/boot/initrd

[/TH/boot/init]

#!/bin/sh

/sbin/fsck /dev/hda5 -C -T -a
mount -o remount --rw /
mount -o bind / /TH/mnt/root
exec /usr/sbin/chroot /TH /sbin/init


I have no idea about lfs, but you probably need working
initrd/initramfs, thing I haven't seen in your config.
