>Release:        FreeBSD 4-current
>Organization:
WebWeaving consultancy
>Environment:

	General 4-current install using DHCP

>Description:

	When using dhcp (or in general) if the host name
	is long (say 15 char's or more) which is rather
	common, the Hostname: and Domain: fields in the
	ifconfig display during install are initially
	empty.

	Only when you type tab do they reveal their
	contents. If you actually start entering
	info though - you screw up the settings in
	a way which is not visible.

>How-To-Repeat:

	
	take a boot floppy, use DHCP and assign the name

		vaio.ispra.webweaving.org

	to it. Say YES to dhcp and see what happens to the fields. Then
	instead of doing TAB enter a value in the empty looking fields
	and then continue the install

>Fix:
