[plug] lilo chroot?

[Daniel J. Axtens]

I'm not entirely sure I understand what's going on, so the following
are sugggestions only: if these don't help please provide some more
info.

Try:
lilo -b /dev/drive-on-which-to-put-a-bootloader
You may need to see the lilo man page on '-P ignore' and '-I'.

When you get your system fixed, you will probably need the same (-b)
syntax to install the bootloader on the cfdisk.
