This was https://github.com/grml/grml/issues/19 and is fixed now.

As written on IRC (IIRC) grml-hostname expects hostnames following
RFC 952, so we'd need to know what hostname you're getting here.

> Additionally, grml64-full has two menu entries "Load grml to RAM" and
> "Load whole medium to RAM" while grml96-full only has "Load to RAM".

Have to verify that yet, thanks for reporting.
