Background - we've got location-specific xcat node names for our servers, which 
are used with discovery. When we install an OS on the nodes, the hostname we 
configure in hosts.hostnames is set as the final hostname, and all is well.

The issue we're seeing though, is when we netboot our diskless CoreOS systems 
the hostname is set to the xcat node name, rather than the first 
hosts.hostnames like we want.

I've found that I can work around this by using:

    makedhcp node022 -s 'supersede host-name = \"therealhostname\";'

Though, if someone runs 'makedhcp –a', these customizations get nuked…

I'm curious if there's a better or recommended way to set the hostname for 
these sort of systems?
