There is a problem: I tried this using a static IP address network 
configuration in the live CD.  The network configuration worked, but 
then the network broke a few minutes later when the original dhclient 
woke up and screwed around with the eth0 configuration.  This caused my 
P2V transfer to halt some way through.

Of course it's possible to fix even this, but I still maintain that the 
live CD can be confused by a different network configuration existing at 
boot than it's expecting (ie. when it's expecting none at all).
