In fai 2.6.6 you can set the hostname by appending following parameter to the kernel:

HOST=demohost

This will also set the hostname. For example. the fai CD contains following boot
entry for grub:


title FAI no network (pw: installme)
password installme
root (fd0)
kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc FAI_FLAGS="verbose,createvt,syslogd" FAI_ACTION=install ip=off HOST=demohost rw
initrd /initrd.img
