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. :)
