FreeBSD foem.leiden.webweaving.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #17: Sat May  4 01:04:42 CEST 2002     dirkx@foem.leiden.webweaving.org:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/FOEM  i386
>Description:
In bootp or dhcpd config you need to specify a

	option host-name "dubbeldrank.leiden.webweaving.org";

to make sure that the kenv of the hostname in rc.diskless1 works (though in most cases hostname -s will return something so the kenv does not get called at all. Perhaps this is a bug too in the rc.diskless1 script.
>How-To-Repeat:
set up a diskless machine according to diskless(8)
>Fix:
Just documenting this in diskless(8).
