Example:
   1. Imagine you just mounted:
      mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/hd
   2. Executing:
      sudo chroot /mnt/hd /bin/bash
      will execute bash from inside /mnt/hd (running /mnt/hd/bin/bash)
      as if you would have booted from there

What Ben, most likely, wants to guide you through is running lilo as if
booted from the disk mounted on /mnt/hd - thus updating the Lilo
config.

I will not guess further because I forgot most things about Lilo long
time ago. The Linuxes I use boot using Grub for long time and/or boot
using UEFI directly these days.

Hope it makes sense.

Makes sense, but isn't working. I'm logged in as root, so I didn't use sudo, but otherwise, I ran it the same:

chroot /mnt/hd /bin/bash

and got :

chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': No such file or directory
