The problem are the standard mount options.

What does work is (assuking hda1 is the partition):

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
sudo chroot /mnt/hda1
lilo

If you have mounted it already you can also do a remount and then reboot:

sudo mount -oremount,suid,dev /mnt/hda1

Please add it to www.knoppix.net/docs if there is no section for it, yet.
