>Environment:

	950210-SNAP, DISKLESS kernel

>Description:

	/etc/netstart fails to set its variable $hostname when `hostname -s`
	returns a valid value.  The test "if [ -z "`hostname -s`" ] ; then"
	fails and the script variable $hostname is not set, ie. it is NULL.
	This causes failure of any following commands (eg. route add) that
	expect it to be set.


>How-To-Repeat:

	When a DISKLESS kernel boots via tftpd/bootpd the command
	`hostname -s` will return a valid hostname.

>Fix:

diff -r1.1 netstart

  if [ -z "`hostname -s`" ] ; then
	hostname=`cat /etc/myname`
	hostname $hostname
+ else
+ 	hostname=`hostname -s`
