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@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.
