Public bug reported: When testing bug 1639930 I found that booting a system with: ip6=dhcp will enable ip=dhcp. ip= does not enable ip6=dhcp, so this is odd behavior.
Thus, if you had an ip6 only network, in order to do this you have to do: ip6=dhcp ip=off This is really just a matter of a very strange behavior, but behavior that can be fixed by just explicitly passing ip=off.
