I made a preseed.cfg for a Debian 9.7 netinstall and add it to the initrd on the ISO. There a two things I want to assign manually during installation, the IP address and the hostname. The IP address is not a problem. But the hostname doesn't work. I only get the hostname by dhcp or by the string in the preseed.cfg.
How can I assign the hostname manually during the installation?
