Close.  Don't put the options on the "label" line; put them on an
"append" line, like this:

  append="ether=10,0x630,eth0 ether=9,0x620,eth1"

Add that line to /etc/lilo.conf and re-run lilo.  This is all spelled
out in the LILO docs.

I don't know that this will solve your problem; I've never seen the
tulip module refuse to load.  Are you sure you didn't FUBAR your kernel
build?
