Um, he can't "enable" miibus in the kernel from sysinstall(8), can he?
I don't know that miibus is in the distribution kernel or not, if
/modules/miibus.ko is likewise available, nor if you can activate
modules from sysinstall(8).
I don't recall any difficulties with sysinstall(8) when I brought
up this box with Linksys NICs (Realtek chipsets, which also use dc(1)).
Otherwise, you point out that which I'd forgotten. Thanks.

"Forgive"? Nonsense. You made the effort, that's what counts.
