[HPADM] Can't set hostname during boot up

Hi,
 
Does anybody know why I get this error in the 'rc.log' file -
 
Setting hostname
Output from "/sbin/rc1.d/S320hostname start":
----------------------------
Not a terminal
stty: : Not a typewriter
stty: : Not a typewriter
        ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2
^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2
        ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2 ^[2
   stty: : Not a typewriter
stty: : Not a typewriter
/sbin/rc1.d/S320hostname[44]: NODENAME: Parameter not set.
logout
"/sbin/rc1.d/S320hostname start" FAILED

I can set the hostname manually using 'set_parms hostname' but when I reboot
the server the hostname fails to get set?
 
Output from uname command -
 
# uname -a
HP-UX unknown B.11.11 U 9000/800 204970790 unlimited-user license
 
Any ideas?
 
Cheers
