Log in locally. Clear up the network config scripts so you're left with only the correct interfaces. Then run /root/network_settings.sh to configure the IP addresses on these interfaces. That will update the Cobalt database. Check in the UI to make sure the settings are correct afterwards (I'd click save just to make sure).

Use the migration utilities! Build a new BlueOnyx box then use the Export/Import utilities to move all the data across. Copying around system folders is unlikely to work.
