The procedure (following IBM's advice) would be: 1. Boot the CD. At the boot prompt, type boot knoppix-single (or something like that)--gives you a super-user shell. Doing using "su" did not give me the permissions I needed to complete the procedure. 2. Now, mount the target partition. Check where /etc/fstab wants it mounted and do it there. 3. Now, chroot to that mount point. The prompt will change (and may be less informative) but you can operate on that partition as if it were a real root partition. 4. cd /etc 5. fix lilo.conf 6 run lilo 7. exit out of the chroot shell. At least for me, reboot did that and did not reboot. 8. Back in the CD's shell, reboot.
