Had some trouble this morning in configuring inet6 on a new laptop.
What problems did you encounter? inet6 autoconf or rtsol in
hostname.if are supposed to work exactly the same.
Mmm, I tried inet6 rtsol instead of just rtsol. Now it works idd like
inet6 autoconf. Tnx!
Somehow the static address that was set during install results in some
routing errors (i.e. "ping6: UDP connect: No route to host") after
booting into the installed OS. That's why I removed the static address
and tried rtsol again.
Thanks for the explanation. I have to read a bit more about IPv6.

Finally figured out that rtsol is dropped and that the functionality
is moved to the kernel. Diff for hostname.if(5) included. Someone
might want to replace the "rtsol" keyword in the installer as well.
When I moved the SLAAC logic into the kernel the main motivation was
to get rid of rtsol(8). Back then I suggested to change /etc/netstart
and the installer to deprecate the rtsol keyword as well but I got
some objections to that. Maybe we should revisit that.
Note however that rtsol in hostname.if is a keyword, it does not refer
to the (old) /sbin/rtsol binary and never did; exactly the same as the
dhcp keyword - there isn't even a dhcp binary.
So when /etc/netstart encounters the rtsol keyword it executes
ifconfig $if inet6 autoconf.
The same for dhcp, it executes dhclient $if.
inet6 autoconf in hostname.if works, too, because it's passed to
ifconfig by /etc/netstart.
I notice an inconsistency however. I recently changed some kernel bits
so that SLAAC works with net.inet6.ip6.forwarding enabled. This is
needed for RFC 7084 and intended for cpe devices.
While inet6 autoconf works perfectly fine with
net.inet6.ip6.forwarding enabled /etc/netstart will complain if it
encounters the rtsol keyword with forwarding enabled.
