Booting from the Knoppix 3.8.1 CD and supplying the boot-string "acpi=off screen=1280x1024 depth=24", the basic Knoppix desktop appears on my screen.

After remounting / as rw, editing /etc/lilo.conf to point /dev/hda1 and saving, the problems begin!

Something is either wrong with remount / (root) as read-write or my /etc/lilo.conf file. How can I open the lilo.conf file which was installed on /hda1? This new virtual filesystem is difficult to learn. Any and all help is most appreciated!
