That is not going to work (regardless of the error it is having now)
because even if you get lilo to run, if you then make the machine
/dev/hda, lilo will be trying to look for /dev/hdc

You need to put the drive where it is going to be eventually (ie /dev/hda)
and then boot off a boot floppy, mount the drive on /mnt/ and then do lilo
-r /mnt/

as for the error message, check /mnt/etc/lilo.conf exists and is readable.
