I found these posts:

1. I added the desired hostname to /etc/hostname.nge0  (nge0 being the id of my 
ethernet device) :
# echo blackhole > /etc/hostname.nge0

2. I added the desired hostname to /etc/nodename :
# echo blackhole > /etc/hostname.nge0

Upon boot, the boot screen shows the correct hostname now, as does issuing 
'uname -a'.

Now I saw some messages complaining that 'loghost' was unresolved, so off to 
see how to fix that one now...
