I was thinking about the 'option host-name "foo";' at the end of autoinstall(8). From what I can tell this is picked up by get_responsefile() in /usr/src/distrib/miniroot/install.sub like so: 2118 # Prime hostname with host-name option 2119 hostname "$(sed -E '/^ *option host-name "(.*)";$/!d;s//\1/;q' $_lf)" I have installed a box with a recent snapshot and the resulting machine will be named after what is set in dhcpd.conf.
