>Description:
	I prefer to use a fully qualified DNS name for hostname on
	NetBSD.  Sysinst doesn't support this particularly well, in
	that it will put "fqdn.domain" as the first entry in
	/etc/hosts.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Perform installation by giving a fully qualified DNS domain
	name as host name, and the "domain" part of the FQDN when
	prompted for the "domain" part.

>Fix:
	Sysinst ought to detect that the given domain is an exact
	suffix of the given hostname and in that case not append the
	domain.
