The line "lba32" is for what? I have to ask this because I have never seen
it in an example of a lilo.conf file before.

Also you put "disk=/dev/hde and bios=0x80" to inform lilo that there was a
disk there and its bios address is 0x80. Is this right?

If I would follow your example then I would put:

lba32
disk=/dev/hdf
bios=0x82
