OK, here's what I did wrong. The User Guide shows how to insert info into /etc/networks/interfaces for PPPoE. It shows all the lines for auto, lo, ppp0 and eth1 all together. The interfaces file has them separated out into Steps and Options. Taking it all a little too literally, I stuck all those interface lines together near the top of the file, but also left in all the configuration lines later in the file.
As a result, the interfaces had doubled lines in the configuration. The boot was actually trying to tell me that, too; but the warnings weren't dire enough to ring any bells. No errors made it into any of the log files. After removing the duplicates, IP addresses were assigned to the i/f's. Thanks for your help with this. By the way, the PPPoE interface info seems to have eth0 and eth1 info swapped, like it's using eth1 for the outside interface. Also, it uses the 'masklen' keyword instead of 'netmask'.
