So, after the install, before faireboot, the hostname command get's you 
a "host"? Or is the hostname set corectly in the shell

Usually I only see this, if my DHCP doesn't know the system and gives it 
a random ip from the pool.

Right, it should!

Are you absolutely sure the host's mac and everything is correct in 
dhcp? Does it really get the intended IP or some random one?
