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.
