Unfortunately, FreeBSD 4.2 (and even 4.3) is quite buggy about the
IPv6 address/prefix manipulation. If possible, please use recent
versions of KAME snaps (which can be available at
http://www.kame.net/), or wait for the next release of FreeBSD
(probably 4.4).
Otherwise, you'll see many strange behaviors or even kernel panic.

This configuration implicitly uses the prefix command. See
/etc/rc.network6.

As I repeatedly said, please just forget the ifprefix link. You
should just follow the link from ifnet->if_addrlist.

So, for diagnosing the problem, please do not use the configuration
script (i.e. /etc/defaults/rc.conf, etc) for now. Just boot the
machine without the script, login to the machine as root, then type
# ifconfig ne0 inet6 fec0:0010::1234 prefixlen 64 alias
etc.
