Thanks for all the help. Although the advice was accurate and helpful,
unfortunately they didn't pertain to my problem. The problem was that
bootparamd was not responding to just the hostname, it wanted
hostname.domainname I changed this in the hosts map and it got past that
problem.

Thanks again...
