You _did_ remember tot run lilo after you made those changes did you?
Just changing the configuration file doesn't do the trick. You need to run
lilo to enforce the changes.
That's why you have to be in the chroot jail, to make sure your running the
lilo on your disk, and not the lilo on your knoppix cd.
If you forgot to run lilo, just use knoppix again, check if all is ok in
lilo.conf and punch in the 4 magic characters:
lilo
that should do it :)
