Mount / as in the new root that you said you just installed but can't
get to boot. Don't forget to also mount /boot if it's not on the /
partition.
The rationale for the chroot before running lilo is that it works
better, in my experience. Knoppix is usually a bit newer than Debian
Stable which can cause some compatability problems, and you already
mentioned that the lilo in Knoppix was giving you errors. After doing a
chroot, any commands you run (including lilo) would be running the
Sarge version that you just installed, rather than Knoppix's version.
HTH & HAND,
Jacob
