This should point you in the right direction, I think:

Subject: [Astlinux-users] Best way to Duplicate Astlinux boxes?



I am trying to find a good and easy way to duplicate astlinux for use as an
installation tool..   

 

I am using Soekris Net5501's..  

 

I thought it would be easy to take the flash and just make a DD of it and id
be set..  when I did this  my Ethernet ports come up on the new net5501 as
eth4,eth5,eth6

 

I can see them being detected  but I surmise there is something in the
config somewhere that is written to persistant storage keeping the MACs of
the original..  when I DD's and image and then put the flas on its original
net5501 it worked as expected.  eth0,eth1,eth2..  move that flash to the new
board and eth0,eth1,eth2..

 

Do a fresh install on the new board and get eth0,eth1,eth2 as expected.

 

Is there some place the ether is stored that I can change on each one? I
really don't want to go through the new install process on each and every
box..  *OR* if I have to replace just the hardware in the field..

 

-Christopher
