How do I get LILO to boot on cloned hard drive?

I have a really old hard drive with DOS and Linux partitions with LILO as the boot loader. I want a clone of this hard drive that works exactly like the original. I made a clone using Knoppix and dd_rescue. When I plug in the newly cloned drive, the LILO boot loader stops at "LI" meaning LILO failed at that point. Is this because I need to actually run the LILO command on the LILO partition on the new hard drive before it will work? If so, how do I do that from a live CD? **Update:** Booted from Knoppix live CD: fdisk chroot I don't know what "open /dev/hda: Device not configured" is telling me.
