source /root/.bashrc changes the prompt to

Why is (none) there? echo $HOSTNAME and hostname returns mybox.
Not sure, but I guess the "\h" parameter shows hostname at the time bash
was launched, not what is in HOSTNAME, not what has been set by the
"hostname" command after bash was started. Try just to start a new shell:
/bin/bash
And tell me what happens.
