Provide the output to:

# sysctl -a net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv
# ndp -i fxp0
# ifconfig fxp0

...and, run a tcpdump on fxp0 capturing only IPv6 packets. Eventually
you should see the router advertisements:

# tcpdump -n -i fxp0 ip6

If you don't see them, check your router config. What type of router is
it? Most routers have RAs disabled by default.
