L 80 means that LILO loaded the boot sector, but a disk not ready error
prevented it from finding the second stage boot loader (/boot/boot.b)

looks like it is looking on the wrong drive...

are you 100% positive that you have replaced lilo with a standard dos
mbr on hdc?

another option is to use:
disk = /dev/hdc
 bios = 0x80

boot = /dev/hdc

in your lilo.conf, but this does not work seamlessly with raid
and you need two lilo.conf (one for hda and one for hdc)
