Excellent idea. "-bash-4.0#" is weird.
However, can we please make it such that users will recognize which of
their potentially hundreds virtual machines they connected to?:

PS1="[\u \h:\w]\\$ "

We might even want to think about adding something similar in
linuxrc.s390 as well. But there hostname might not have been set if the
user chooses to drop into the rescue shell early during the network
configuration. Not sure what we should do about \h in linuxrc.
