	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 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.
