LILO config

I'm new to Linux and am having a little problem setting up LILO with on
hdc3. I've done my homework and have been able to hack my way this far but
now I'm stuck.
Here it is:
Toshiba 460CDT Laptop
HD 2Gig (hda)
Select bay drive HD 2 Gig (hdc)
hda is a Win95 drive - hda1 FAT16 1Gig, hda2 FAT32 1Gig
hdc Other OSes - hdc1 - WinNT (900Meg), hdc2 Extended DOS FAT 16(512Meg),
hdc3 Ext2(500Meg), hdc4 Linux swap(66Meg)
(hdc contains the NT loader - must change boot priority)
I had to perform the install on hdc as hda so I could use my selectbay
cdrom. After booting from floppy and installing LILO, stripping LILO using
"dd" I was able to boot Linux using the NT loader. Pretty painless
actually. The last thing I did was change /etc/fstab to use hdc3 because
this would be its final location. I then moved the drive back to the
selectbay (hdc). (I also did this so the NT loader would not install on
hda.)
I am now able to boot from floppy w/ root=/dev/hdc3 and Linux runs.
However after modifying /etc/lilo.conf to use hdc3, lilo complains that it
is not on the 1st drive. I installed it anyhow and stripped it with "dd".
I can now load LILO from the NT loader on hdc but LILO hangs with "LI".
Any ideas as to the way out?
I need Win95, and got hdc because I needed WinNT, and decided to install
Linux because I have more time at work to mess with it.
