I frankly don't know the answer to your question, but there are indications
that dhclient (the dhcp client) pull the hostname info from rc.conf.  So as
Gerald mentioned, there might be a way to set it during the setup process.
I have setup up several computers via FTP, however I just don't remember the
process well enough to explain how to do it.

-I think his problem is his dhcp server expects a hostname to be passed to
-it.  Does FreeBSD have the ability to do this with the ftp install?

Exactly! Does it?

Appreciate the clarification,

Will
