System: NetBSD road-runner.mit.edu 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (ROAD-RUNNER) #91: Mon Jan 5 13:47:52 EST 1998 nathanw@road-runner.mit.edu:/u1/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ROAD-RUNNER i386


>Description:
	While sysinst prompts for a host name and installs it in /etc/hosts,
it does not call sethostname(), nor does it write out the name to /etc/myname
if the user responds "y" to the question of whether the information should be 
installed in /etc. 
>How-To-Repeat:
	Do a 1.3 install, reply "y" to that question, reboot, and watch
the system come up as Amnesiac. 
>Fix:
Apply the following patch to distrib/utils/sysinst/net.c:
