try adding append="ether=0,0,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1" to /etc/lilo.conf for the
said kernel image.

If you want to nail the 3c509 to either eth0 or eth1, then find its base and
IRQ and do something like:

append="ether=10,0x240,eth0 ether=0,0,eth1"

As someone recently pointed out, Ethernet card probing is fairly broken at
the moment, another thing to address when 2.3.x rolls around.
