liveinit: when network-booting, add MAC address as suffix to the hostname.
This default behaviour can be prohibited by applying an extended 'hostname' boot parameter as follows: hostname=your_custom_hostname,fixed The qualifier 'fixed' after the comma will prevent the hostname from being changed to something else than 'your_custom_hostname'.
