Actually, we should make MSDOS_PARTITION not ask at all, unless

My dual 1GHz G4 isn't an embedded system by any means, but I don't
want to load crappy MSDOS partition drivers into it, it's intended to
have a blazingly fast boot time with minimal extra drivers.

That's really what EMBEDDED means: ask about things that no sane person
would leave out. So how about just changing that "if PARTITION_ADVANCED"
into "if EMBEDDED" on MSDOS?

If you make this specific to x86, that _may_ be OK, but I suspect others who
only have only BSD partitioning schemes may object.
