If you tell the bios to boot from the IDE drives then you need this in 
/etc/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/hda
disk=/dev/hda
        bios=0x80
disk=/dev/sda
        bios=0x81

If you tell bios to boot from SCSI then you need this
boot=/dev/sda
disk=/dev/sda
       bios=0x80
disk=/dev/hda  
       bios=0x81

otherwise lilo my try to update the wrong master boot record
