Oh, I'm sorry... there was a typo on our help page, and I was reading
from it on autopilot... should be:

cd /tmp
mknod hda<partition # of root fs> b 3 <partition #> (i.e. mknod hda1 b 3
1)
mknod hda<partition # of /boot fs> b 3 <partition #> (if you have /boot)
mount hda<part#> /mnt/A
mount hda<part#>  /mnt/A/boot
chroot /mnt/A

(that's checked in for the web page now).

I'll bet that one of Keith's suggestions fixes your problem - you have
to tell Lilo where to look for the drive in your system.
