Description Dirk-Willem van Gulik 2002-06-15 22:50:01 UTC 
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.

Fix: 

Just documenting this in diskless(8).
How-To-Repeat: set up a diskless machine according to diskless(8)
