You could try booting up with wich card alone and score up settings of
each card in stand alone configuration.
Then you must have driver support on in kernel for each eth you have.
Now you can put in your '/etc/lilo.conf':
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35-2
label=twoeth
root=/dev/hda1
append="ether=9,0xfe80,eth0 ether=10,0x300,eth1"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ & ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - must be real settings
read-only
P.S.: I term the card eth0 must have smallish IRQ addr than eth1?
