While testing 11u3 ISO images, I noticed that a standalone Debian Edu
installation does not ask for a hostname. It tries to find a hostname
via DNS/DHCP and falls back to am-<mac>.

Will it accept the hostname on the boot prompt as
hostname=some.domain.name?

Nope. Not anymore.

See:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-edu/debian-edu-config/-/blob/master/share/debian-edu-config/d-i/pre-pkgsel#L184

We could add more logic of detecting the DNSDOMAINNAME from the hostname= param, though. Patches welcome.
