When I reboot the bone, it still uses dhcp so set the address for
eth0. If I then ssh in and run /etc/init.d/networking restart, eth0
comes up at the correct (static) address.
What should I do to ensure a static ip address on rebooting?

its a very clever piece of software but maybe too clever :-)
you can disable it from /etc/init.d or try to configure it based on the url above.
