It seemed that even as root, I couldn't do things easily from a virtual console. I was really nonplussed at the problem of lilo not being able to access /dev/hda after chroot.
I wanted to then alter the lilo.conf that comes with knoppix, hoping I could change it to what I needed to boot my system. But, I couldn't edit /etc/lilo.conf, it was a read only system. I suppose that was on the cdrom, but, I just don't know.
In any event, knoppix wouldn't let me run lilo properly to fix my boot
problem.
It would if you had remounted your / filesystem read-write. There's nothing wrong with Knoppix.
