        I'm not sure about size constraints in boot floppy (or netbsd.gz
        with file systemboot image) for all the archs, so I hesitate
        to add IPv6 support for archs I cannot really test.  I should ask
        port maintainers for help. (was port-maintainers%netbsd.org@localhost 
correct?)

        http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-install/2000/01/04/0001.html
        has slightly obsolete instructions for enabling IPv6 for boot floppy.
        Current instruction would be:
        1. add "options INET6" to installation kernel configuration
           (like sys/arch/i386/conf/INSTALL)
        2. add "-DINET6" into distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/something/Makefile
           to enable IPv6 autoconf support.
        3. bring in x_ping6 and rtsol into ramdisk packaging
        4. under distrib/utils/x_{route,ftp,ifconfig}, enable -DINET6 line
           by tweaking .if line.
