I can't believe it would be unusual to boot GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd with GRUB and have a disk too big for the BIOS. > You can help yourself by setting grub options correctly. > > title= hurd (hd2s1 multi-user) > root= (hd0,0) # SET /boot PART.

Not that simple :) Since (hd0,0) is /boot/ and GRUB thinks it's /, I must omit the /boot in kernel= and module=. Here's what I do (from memory): title = Debian GNU/Hurd (multi-user) # no root= yet, since GRUB knows where it loaded its own files kernel = /hurd/gnumach root=hd0s2 module = /hurd/serverboot rootnoverify = (hd0,1) # does this affect anything? I could use dpkg-divert to move /boot/gnumach and /boot/serverboot in /boot/hurd/ (although I haven't tried yet), but /boot/servers.boot seems to be a problem since it wouldn't be on the root filesystem. I need a way to move it there, perhaps in /etc/ since it's a configuration file. I looked at the serverboot source (from hurd-0.2) but couldn't find a way to pass the filename of the script on the command line. Has such an option been added in newer versions? I'm going to download the Hurd-side development libraries and GCC today.
