OK, I now can confirm this bug. IMO, it's due to a change in
live-initramfs/live-boot. Apparently setting the hostname using the ip=
parameter does not work with live-boot (maybe due to the NOHOST=yes in
live.conf).

This patch does not work. I used fai-cd and grub1 inside the nfsroot,
created a bootable USB stick, and the HOSTNAME=demohost in the kernel
command line. When booting the stick the host name is set to: host
I guess, there are more things to fix for getting fai-cd working with
squeeze and lenny and grub1 and grub2.\ or whatever combination.
