Thanks for pointing that out! Don't know how I missed that.However, that requires a per-host preseed, where as with kernel command line I can have the same preseed for all my hosts (or at least all hosts in a certain category) and simply just pass in a hostname in the tftpseed (which has to be host specific anyway and for me is already generated by my provisioning system).
So perhaps it would be useful to have a like netcfg/hostname_priority flag where one can choose a priority order?
