First, before doing anything with lilo, make a bootable disk (if you haven't
yet) with mkboot. So you can boot even if something goes wrong.
Then read man lilo and man lilo.conf and configure lilo accordingly. (If I
understood correctly, you have already installed lilo on HD. If not, run
dpkg-reconfigure lilo.) Make sure to use the right device names:
/dev/hda master on 1st IDE connection
/dev/hdb slave on 1st --
/dev/hdc master on 2nd --
/dev/hdd slave on 2nd --

Doesn't matter. In debian, most config things are text-based.

Doesn't matter either. Many who write on this list aren't native speakers.
(And those who are can be glad that we all use their language.)
