 fdisk/bootsector: good luck ;-) Is it possible that fdisk checks if the 
 MBS is either bootsel or default MSDOS MBR, and automatically assumes 
 bootsel if non-MSDOS?  That would classify as "bug", IMHO.
 
 pppoe: still trying, it is a bit hairy to do manually and pppoe0 
 stubbornly refuses to comply with meâ?¦ please, consider including pppoe 
 into the installer, with auto-negotiation, daemon-loading etc.
