That probably will not work totally, unless you have only a single 
partition.  I.e. /home /boot, etc won't be mounted if they're on 
separate drives.

Booting into single user mode (using the corrected root=/dev/hdc1 kernel 
line) will allow you to hopefully edit /etc/fstab to reflect the new 
drive devices.  After that, editing lilo.conf and running lilo, you 
should be able to boot without modifications.
