But if I install lfs-bootscript, then it changes to root@myhostname.
I also added /etc/fstab and /etc/inittab

Did I miss anything?


Yes.  For systemd, Section 7.2.3.

After bootup, use hostnamectl.

echo myhostname > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname 

sets the hostname to myhostname. You can read the hostname via

cat /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
 
There is also a /proc/sys/kernel/domainname

If you don't have the /proc/sys filesystem, you'll have to enable
that feature in the kernel.
