After I upgraded to openrc my ppp/dsl internet connection stop working. pppd reports:"no device specified and stdin is not a tty" /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start * Bringing up interface ppp0 * Starting pppd in ppp0 ... /usr/sbin/pppd: no device specified and stdin is not a tty * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/pppd' * Failed to start PPP [ !! ] * ERROR: net.ppp0 failed to start /var/log/messages May 12 05:40:42 rhein pppd[21781]: Plugin rp-pppoe.so loaded.

Remove the line "# usepeerdns" from /etc/conf.d/net or no # between " ". It was very hard to find the bugreport #218786 with my error message. Luckily had help from irc. The infomation from bug #218786 comment 15 and 34 should be added to the openrc migration guide.
The issue here is that you were using a comment in the middle of a variable definition. There isn't anything for us to document for this.
