--- Comment #2 from Dag-Erling Smørgrav <des@FreeBSD.org> ---
Sorry, I hit Save too soon.  What exactly do you mean by “no interfaces with
IPv6 enabled”?  You have a fully INET6-enabled kernel and world but you did not
enable ipv6_activate_all_interfaces or provide any ifconfig_*_ipv6 for any of
your interfaces?  Even then, IPv6 should still be enabled on lo0; you'd have to
manually disable it after boot.  Can you share the output form `ifconfig -v`?

What happens if, after syslogd fails to start (or it did but you manually
stopped it), you run `syslogd -Fd`?
