I came across this: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/frv/booting.txt
| (*) ip=<ip>::::<host>:<iface>:<cfg> | | Configure the network interface. If <cfg> is "off" then <ip> should | specify the IP address for the network device <iface>. <host> provide | the hostname for the device. | | If <cfg> is "bootp" or "dhcp", then all of these parameters will be | discovered by consulting a BOOTP or DHCP server. | | For example, the following might be used: | | ip=192.168.73.12::::frv:eth0:off | | This sets the IP address on the VDK motherboard RTL8029 ethernet chipset | (eth0) to be 192.168.73.12, and sets the board's hostname to be "frv". So its possible we can already do this. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #367301 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=367301 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1046405 Title: hostname.conf should prefer kernel cmdline 'hostname=' to contents of /etc/hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hostname/+bug/1046405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
