One other item which I did not mention: The bootable "DOS" drive _must_ be the
first one detectable by "DOS".

Re-arrange your drives like this and let me know if it fixes the situation:
HDA - ok
HDC - Set as HDB
HDB - Set as HDC (Linux does not care where additional partitions are)
ps. fix the /etc/lilo.conf file as well and re-run LILO
