You could have two independent installations of LILO, one on sda, and one on sdb, where the latter accesses no files from sda and defines the disk numbers (for the BIOS) the way they look when sda is removed.
Then, you probably want to rename /sbin/lilo to /sbin/lilo.bin or such, and write a script /sbin/lilo that generates the modified lilo.conf files, and updates both instances of LILO.
