Hosed my system. Knoppix won't fix it.

[Joel Hammer]

I seem to have hosed my system.

After rebuilding the kernel, I guess I ought to have run lilo again, for the
umpteemth time, which I didn't bother doing.

Now when I try to boot, no matter which image I use, it just hangs up during
boot. I booted up with knoppix and chroot'ed to my proper root directory.
When I try to run lilo I am told that /dev/hda is not available or somesuch.
This is in my lilo.conf

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map

I have also noticed that /boot is empty, no map there!

So, the question is, what is the way to get the system to boot again.

Thanks,

Joel
