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).
