I guess there is no automatic mechanism for when the box has not KB or monitor attached, which was what I was hoping for. Even if I remove the rules file before moving the OS drive, it does not appear to rebuild the rules file automaticaaly when started on a different box. I guess I could exec the init-net-rules.sh script at startup if the rules file is not present to have it build it automatically.
