Actually, the chroot isn't needed.  From the LILO(8) man page:

       -r root-directory
              Before doing anything else,  do  a  chroot  to  the
              indicated  directory.  Used  for  repairing a setup
              from a boot floppy.

It comes in handy when your rescue disk won't chroot.  :)
