I had to modify fai-chboot so that it sets an environment variable on the
booting system.   Find the line that sets the $append variable and add a
HOSTNAME assignment to that line:

$append="append $initrd $bootprot $rootfs HOSTNAME=$host $opt_k $flags
$action\n";

 There was a thread about it here: <
