I would not add all of etc to /opt/.filetool.sh

Did you do a "sudo filetool.sh -b"?

If you are just setting the hostname, then just add the "host=xxxxx" bootcode.

/etc/hosts is rewritten by the boot process, if you have your own copy, remove the sethostname call from bootsync.sh.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
