 What's the expectation here for a system deliberately missing 
 hostname(1)?
 To try and set the hostname as requested or to avoid errors that 
 hostname(1) is missing?
 
 If the former, is any other mechanism available like sysctl to set the 
 hostname?
 If the latter, then either remove the hook from the ramdisk as well or 
 add a line to dhcpcd.conf(5) to skip running it.
 
 Thanks
