Also, manually editing the /etc/hosts file on the VM to use the
fully-qualified hostname for your primary IP address will work.

This is a good way to bootstrap the system if you're planning to use
FreeIPA v2 as a DNS server as well. Once setup is complete you can point
/etc/resolv.conf at the FreeIPA server you just set up.
