Oops. That would be it. My file server I used for the diskless install
set the hostname out of habit.

Still I would expect that the dhcpd host name option would have LOWEST
priority after /etc/rc.conf $hostname and /etc/myname. Disabling

        option host-name "wimp.snert.com";

in my dhcpd server made the difference, such that /etc/rc.conf $hostname
works as advertised.

Thanks for reminding me of something to check. I'm such a plonker.
