Is it safe to assume that smbios.system.uuid returns a string of the
correct form (the correct amount of hex digits with hyphens in the right
places) which is neither all-bits-zero nor all-bits-one? In that case,
there is no need to check anything in etc/rc.d/hostid.

The hostid script also is cranky when used on a diskless host, because
it can't write to it's hostid file. I've been ignoring it, but I wanted
to at least mention it.
Shall I file a PR?
