 FIXME At least when building a stretch TCE on a jessie system, you need to add kernel parameters ''net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0'' to the image's kernel parameters, else you will receive error messages about the hostname script being unable to find eth0. This might not be necessary when building a stretch TCE on stretch. For a jessie TCE on jessie, it is not required. FIXME At least when building a stretch TCE on a jessie system, you need to add kernel parameters ''net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0'' to the image's kernel parameters, else you will receive error messages about the hostname script being unable to find eth0.
