Title:
  Z LPAR install: ipv6 link-local address presented to user

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installation initiated from the HMC using 'Recovery --> Reload from
  Removable Media or Server' to select the FTP server and installer. The
  menu selection 'Daily --> Operating system messages' is then used to
  drive the installation until prompted to log in over ssh to complete
  the installation.

  The user is instructed "To continue the installation, please use an
  SSH client to connect to the IP address...". The address is given with
  an IPv6 link-local value (e.g. 'ssh installer at fe80::ff:fe91:8af1').
  Not only will the link-local address not work when driving a remote
  installation but in this particular case IPv4 addresses where provided
  to all prompts related to networking.
