There are some bugs in the do_netmount() function in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live:
The invocation of "ipconfig" appears incorrect; the second argument
"/tmp/net-${DEVICE}.conf" just generates an error at runtime (because
there is no interface matching that name).
Also, the hostname of the system is set to whatever the DHCP server
gave us -- even if it didn't give us a hostname, in which case it's
set to "", which causes errors like "invalid hostname" later in the
boot and Bash will report the hostname as "(none)". Instead,
it should fall back to whatever was specified by the live config.
Here's a patch:
