Yaboot lets OpenFirmware do all the network stuff. With a suitable
firmware, it might even work already, if yaboot isn't overzealous in
'validating' the IP address.

Yeah the problem is that there is no real 1275 standard for ipv6  
netboot, also ':' is a restricted char in the spec, but I believe  
that's been informally relaxed.

IIRC the Power.org PAPR specifications talk about it, and it's in  
later Power firmware so we'd just need to test it. I should also look  
how the OLPC openfirmware ipv6 implementation works.
