As a heads up, here's what I did:
- Installed the system as normal, with the NICs in the wrong order
- Edited /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistant-net.rules and changed the part of each line that reads NAME="eth#" to read the correct number
- Rebooted
- Restored my backup
This seemed to work well for me.
Hope this helps someone.
