Perhaps this is a stupid question, but when using DHCP (udhcpc) which is
started from netsetup and despite the fact that I set hostname in rc my BL3
box doesn't get a hostname. If I set it explicitly in hosts then it will,
but since I am using DHCP I don't really want to do that. Anyone know what
the problem is. I see the messages Get_Hostbyname: Unknown hos NAS-JC1 and
Unable to get my hostname - exiting in log.nmb

thanks,
JAson
