Just pointing out that the OP may not be familiar with chroot, which
basically means "change the / directory to this directory for this
program". You can invoke chroot on your mount point and tell it to run
bash, then run lilo. Better yet, just run lilo with the -r option. See
the lilo and chroot man pages for more details.
