When you run lilo, it will write the BIOS device number into the boot
sector.
(In your case it would write 0x82 for hdc).
There is a mapping command in lilo that allow you to remap hdc=0x80
Include this at the beginning of lilo.conf
disk=/dev/hdc
bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda
bios=0x81
That way lilo will write 0x80 (which is what you want since you want to boot
it up as the primary IDE master).
