[gPXE] sanbootconf hostname setting

[lsq726]

hi,
    Maybe this is not a perfect solution.
There is no domain network it was very interesting and very convenient.
You can add this functionality, plus a reminder to use the domain network users do not use this function.
In the future there is a better scheme and then modify it.
