Will it accept the hostname on the boot prompt as hostname=some.domain.name?No; the update-hostname-from-ip script will overwrite the hostname given as kernel command line param with am-<mac>, just like it happens with 'hostname=pxeinstall' for PXE installed systems.
Thanks for the feedback, I did not yet get around to testing Petters question / hint.
I'd quite favour a change to update-hostname-from-ip that adds a check to the script that finds out wether the machine is on a Debian Edu network or somewhere entirely else.
Definitely, the update-hostname-from-ip should be usable on the home Debian Edu network, but IMHO nowhere else.
