            Bug ID: 231646
           Summary: bsdinstall(8) Unable to resolve own hostname, causes
                    local mail to only queue
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.2-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: leeb at ratnaling.org

Using bsdinstall(8) I made a new system but did not configure the network.
After booting into the system, local mail was not working and I was unable to

root at my-test-mach:~ # ping `hostname`
ping: cannot resolv my-test-mach: Host name lookup failure

This causes all local mail to fail, /var/spool/mqueue just fills up.  periodic
scripts therefore don't populate root's mail.

Solved by manually adding hostname to /etc/hosts
