Why did it even ask you to supply a hostname? It should have glommed
that directly from DNS. The process usually is:
...
supply IP address, netmask
(it generates router and primary DNS)
click ok
DNS is querried and it fills in hostname and other DNS
Select NFS server
...
Is something different in this install?
