Hello there,

I solved the problem with empty $DOMAIN when booting from CD instead of NFS:
Just give network some more time to come up.

E.g. by adding a confdir.DEFAULT.source:

n=0
until [ $n = 20 ]; do
    # Is there a NIC up that contains the letters 'eth'?
    # Yes? Go Ahead! - No? Just wait a bit (up to 10 seconds)
    [ $(ip link show up | grep eth | wc -l) = 0 ] && { sleep .5; } || break ;
    n=$[$n+1]
done
