John,
I see two problems. First, there's a gap between hda and hdc. I am not
sure if this makes a difference to the OS, but most BIOSes like to have the
hard drives named sequentially.

Second, win95 wants to boot from the first hard drive (c:), not the third.
Use the map-drive command to make it appear to be the first drive when lilo
hands off control. Add these lines to the end of that stanza:
map-drive=0x80
to=0x82
map-drive=0x82
to=0x80
