I've moved more than 40 times (military brat, and then in myself), I second the "essential box" of stuff you'll need right away, toilet paper, sheets, etc. but I would also recommend a box that you put all the pieces and parts that are the result of disassembling furniture, label zip lock backs and put all hardware for items (beds, bookcases, etc) in them, put in a box that is painted or magic markered some bizarre color so you can find it in the brown sea at the other end, include basic tools, hammers, multiple screw drivers, ratchets, etc. That way you'll have the box you need to start putting things back together.
