Do you happen to know how to "fix" udev such that whatever ethernet card is found is assigned to eth0, and not eth1 the first time the VM instance is booted after being copied? I suppose I'll try just deleting all lines in that file and rebooting. Hopefully that does the trip. I’m creating a VM appliance based on Ubuntu 8.04.

But you can assign a static address . See http://www.vmware.com/support/esx21/doc/esx21admin_MACaddress.html. The MAC address changes when you move or copy the virtual machine.
