Under NetBSD the MTU is specifiable on a per-routing table entry
basis.  If I had an FDDI I'd simply allocate a network for the FDDI
and set that MTU to 4k (or whatever the exact number is).  Adding the
following to the rc file, sure is faster than adding the MTU-discovery
code to the kernel.

	route add  -mtu 4096 -net x.x.x.0 myinterface
