System: NetBSD serpens.de 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (SERPENS) #0: Sun Dec 17 01:59:30 MET 2000 spz@serpens.de:/data/15src/sys/arch/amiga/compile/SERPENS amiga


>Description:
	In order to get rid of netstart.local I'd need a way to define the
	IPv6 default route for a non-autohost in another way. Unless I'm blind
	(and that would be nothing new :->) there isn't one yet.
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	I suggest putting in the following, defining an 'else' action for 'is
	rtsol defined?', keeping much with "what's already familiar":

	The necessary change to /etc/defaults/rc.conf is left as an exercise to
	the reader :-P :-]
