LILO could care less about another drive being added to the system.  All
it cares about is being able to access the drive it is pointed at for
booting.  If the other drive hangs the IDE bus, nothing is going to boot.

I had no trouble adding another drive to my system and booting.  The kernel
saw the new drive and had no trouble with it either.  I just ran fdisk on
it to get the partitioning I wanted, transferred the data from one drive to
another, changed fstab and rebooted the new configuration.  No LILO change,
no nothing along that route.
