No, the name "localhost" should be in your /etc/hosts,
along with the hostname you selected. In this case,
something like

	# for localhost:
	::1             localhost
	127.0.0.1       localhost
	# for your hostname:
	127.0.0.1       bsdbox.local bsdbox
	127.0.0.1       bsdbox.local.

would be okay. You can use ".my.domain" instead of ".local";
".localdomain" is okay, too.
