You asked for a timeout of 5 seconds.
While you received a RA within 5 seconds, there was no address OR instruction to 
get an address via DHCP6 so dhcpcd discards this RA.

If you want it to daemonise right away then replace `-t 5` with `-b` and dhcpcd 
will work in the background for you until told to stop.
