My system is as follows: Hardware: dual pentium 233-mmx processors 128 Mb ram 3 hard drives /dev/hda1 13.2Gb type FAT32 Windows98 C: /dev/hdb1 999.17Mb type Linux ext2 type 83 Primary Boot GRUB root=(hd1,0) HURD root=hd1s1 /dev/hdb2 999.17Mb type Linux ext2 type 83 Primary /dev/hdb3 999.17Mb type Linux ext2 type 83 Primary /dev/hdb4 999.17Mb type Linux ext2 type 82 SWAP /dev/hdc1 13.541Gb type Linux ext2 type 83 Primary Boot /dev/hdc2 135.22Mb type Linux ext2 type 82 SWAP
I used the system on /dev/hdc1 to set up my drives. It is a Debian Linux Potato system. I used the instructions for the large tar ball setup. the mke2fs version on Potato is 1.18. I used all of the files downloaded from the alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/* ftp site. tarball# gnu-20000301.tar.gz. I used the grub-floppy-19991023 floppy image to create my boot disk. All of the files are visible and I can read and write to the ext2 filesystem when it is mounted on /gnu. I followed the boot up instructions; used the grub floppy; got the command prompt grub>; I issued the command "root=(hd1,0)"; recieved the message 'found ext2 linux filesystem"; I issued the command "kernel=hd1s1 -s";that is as far as I got. I get the error message "file not found"; ANY help or criticisms are greatly appreciated as this is my first attempt at using HURD. -- AdVance-Computing Systems We sell fine quality servers and workstations.
