[gentoo-amd64] server setting up funny interfaces

[Mark Haney]

I've got a server doing something weird with it's network interfaces. 
It's got one NIC in it, and from the live CD it sees that NIC as ETH0.

However, no matter what I do on boot from the HDD, it sees that 
interface as ETH1.  Even though it was originally setup as ETH0.  And 
now, on a reboot, none of the networking services starts up because the 
system thinks eth0 does not exist.

I can start eth1, but then ssh and all the other services (SSH and BIND 
mostly) refuse to start because they are looking for eth0.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
