you can try something like this for the drives that are missing:

disk = /dev/hdx         # BIOS only sees first 500 MB.
   bios = 0x80          # specifies the first IDE.
   sectors = 63         # get the numbers from your drive's docs.
   heads = 16
   cylinders = 2100

in the lilo.conf file.

i really dont know if it would work or not.

btw: i grabbed this from the lilo mini HOWTO from www.tldp.org
