Thanks for your quick reply. I will keep your request in mind (not
putting multiple things into one PR). My primary concern with these
issues is the *i386 port*, on an Atom-based notebook. Once I get it all
up-and-running there, I'll use the same way on the m68k and arm machines.
Concerning pppoe:
I was able to create the device, thank you very much for that hint â??â??
but how do I go on from here? As a freshling to *BSD, one discovers some
huge differences to other unix-style systems in layout, utilities and
how-to-do-things, and I am not really sure how to give userid and passwd
for the login to the provider (is it similar to the way it is done in
the pppoe packages in Linux, via /etc/ppp/{chap,pap}-secrets ?)â?¦
Concerning the reboot/GRUB issue:
output follows below; internal 160GB SATA disk IDE0:0. Note: There are
two linux systems, one in partition 0, one in partition 3; the NetBSD
slice is partitioned into system (55G) and swap (2G). Partition 2 is a
swap/hibernate area. GRUB is "operated" from partition 3 and resides in
(hd0) and, since yesterday, in (hd0,msdos4) for redundancy. NetBSD was
installed in a partition that was previously used as simple
ext4-formatted storage volume.

Please do not file different issues in a single PR, it makes tracking very
hard.
For the pppoe issue: it is available on some install media, but others are
more stripped due to size restraints. Try to exit the installer to the
shell (or run Utils/Run /bin/sh) and try:
ifconfig pppoe0 create
pppoectl -v pppoe0
to verify. If either does not work, please tell us what install media you
used and we can check if we can add it there.
For the grub issue: in a pre-corruption state (or after your fixup),
please boot the install media, then exit to the shell (see above) and
then report the output of
fdisk wd0
disklabel wd0
(assuming you boot from a stock ata/sata disk).
Thanks,
Martin
