I would guess you would have to use some solution like the "Auto-Switch"
previously mentioned or any of the NICs with load balancing / fault
tolerance support. You would then most likely configure spanning-tree
redundancy between the two switches. That's a little messy though.
I like the RPS with a hot standby processor card suggestion. Just my
opinion. I have a 3548-XL with RPS and I've never had either PS or any
ports fail. All in the name of disaster prevention though I guess. =)
Good luck,
Greg
