reinstalling lilo


Hi, I need to reinstall lilo, browsing in the internet i found the next steps:
a) boot using knoppix (i´m using 5.0)
b) root@tty1[#] mount /mnt/hdxx (in my case hda5, hda1 is xp)
c) root@tty1[#] chroot /mnt/hda5
d) sh-2.05b# /sbin/lilo

AND HERE IS THE ERROR MESSAGE:
Fatal: open /dev/hda: Permission denied

Reading this, I undestand that I can´t enough right over hda (hda1: xp, hda5: mandriva) but I don´t know why because I´m logged as mandriva root (sh-2.05b) so... what am I doing bad?

Hm, are you sure that you are root when you try to mount the mandriva disk in knoppix?
