That explanation covers the gist of it.  For a more detailed bit of help
with Knoppix, I have the Knoppix Pocket Reference, which is essentially a
trimmed down version of Knoppix Hacks.  It includes a specific fwe pages
about repairing LILO and GRUB boot loader problems like this, effectively
telling you line by line how to re-install each of them.

If you want to see/borrow it, let me know.  Otherwise, for $10, it comes
in handy a good deal.
