Ah, yes... chroot. I knew I was forgetting something. Thanks, Warren! It has been so long since I hosed up Lilo.... But, as a side note to anyone that may encounter this, it does not work from Knoppix. I chrooted /mnt/hda4 (my root drive), and made sure everything is as it should be. It was. I tried to run lilo, and I got errors about "open /dev/hda: permission denied". I made sure I was root, I made sure everything had correct permissions. I was, and everything did. I tried a few other things, and I got permission denied errors on /dev/null, too. Apparently, no matter what you do, Knoppix just won't let you work with files in /dev. I even changed the permissions to a+rwx on a few things (that it let me do), and I still couldn't run lilo or write to /dev/null. So, I used a Debian install/rescue disk, did everything exactly the same, and it worked fine. Things that make you go WTF?!?!?!?!
