Have you tried:
(a) loading modules manually from command line using both insmod and modprobe?
(b) commenting out options lines for eth0 and eth1, which lets modprobe autodetect?
(c) booting w/ /etc/conf.modules configured w/ only eth0 and only w/ eth1?
(d) verified settings and functionality of 3c509 NICs w/ 3com's DOS utility
    3c5x9cfg.exe ?
