>Description:
	it is possible to install NetBSD 1.5 with no IPv4 configuration at all.
	however, /etc/rc.conf and /etc/ifconfig.* initialization does not
	honor the initializations performed during IPv6 install floppy setups.

	for example, the following would be necessary:
	- if IPv6 interface initialization is called for, have
	  "ip6mode=autohost" in /etc/rc.conf
	  (do not put dynamically-configured address into /etc/ifconfig.foo)
	- if IPv6 nameserver is picked, put it into /etc/resolv.conf
	- do not put incorrecdt configuration like " netmask 0xff000000" into
	  /etc/ifconfig.foo if no IPv4 configuration is made
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	I'd need to do something about this...
