Uh, well, no, that's not all there is to it. Not to flame, but horsefeathers.
I believe I mentioned in my original article that I *DID* set /etc/systemid,
and uname(1) still reports (empty) as the nodename. At the moment our system
*doesn't* have the link kit, though I will probably get it. So thanks to all
who suggested adb'ing the kernel; looks like that's what I would have to do.
To the person who suggested just setting /etc/systemid, try uname(1) on your
machine and see what it does!
