IPv6 default-route - gone

Hi,

After installing a new machine under FreeBSD9 I discovered that the
IPv6-configuration I had in place with FreeBSD8 does no longer work.

Here's what I've got in /etc/rc.conf:
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_ifconfig_em0="2001:76c:2218:2009::11/64"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:76c:2218:2009::1"

The interface address correctly shows up under "ifconfig" however the
default route doesn't seem to be installed, so I'm basically cut off
the Internet in terms of IPv6.

Please note that the above config has worked unser FreeBSD8 - in fact
I've got a couple of boxes under FreeBSD8 with this exact same config.

Has the IPv6-related config changed from FBSD 8 -> FBSD 9?

Thanks much in advance for any help,
-ewald
