You're confusing the filesystem directory /boot, where the kernel

Then by boot sector could be written to hdc1 then ? That's were my root partion
is, so I would think everything should go there, no ?

In theory, yes. ;-)
But you forgot your BIOS and its way of searching for a boot device.
Maybe it will work, if you mark hdc1 as bootable. But I don't know.
I always put my bootsectors in the master bootrecord of the first
device (normally hda or sda).

Right OK, but I can manually change it to hdc, and then rerun lilo ?

See above.

Shade and sweet water!
