Here's the other story!
I created a primary partition size 1 cyl ~ 8 MB as hda1.
To this partition I dumped the /KNOPPIX/boot-de.img from the cd.
Code:
# dd if=boot-de.img of=/dev/hda1
Ok, with this I wasted 7 MB of disk space, but KNOPPIX runs without a boot diskette.
To use this with lilo, just put to /etc/lilo.conf:
Code:
other=/dev/hda1
  label="KNOPPIX cd"
and run lilo again

With grub, put to /boot/grub/menu.lst:
Code:
title           Knoppix cd
root            (hd0,0)
