Why would adding the hostname work? What is it that's fooling around 
with my hostname at this point in the boot process?

/etc/hosts basically serves as a backup for cases where the DNS does not
work. Seems to me as if sshd is crating the seem to hang up as it can't get
the box hostname resolved properly.
