man rtadvd shows that -D is debugging.

$ grep rtad /etc/rc.conf
rtadvd_enable="YES"                     # let our LAN know the IPv6 
default route
rtadvd_interfaces="fxp1"        # our private LAN

I can't try it yet, but it looks like removing /etc/rtadvd.conf may 
do the trick.

Merry Christmas.
