I installed the hurd from a redhat system. Using the tar.gz file that was given in http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/easy.html It worked ok
Then I made a copy of these files /boot/gnumach.gz /boot/server.boot /boot/serverboot.gz Then I installed using the cross install method and the instillation would not boot. I copped the files back And things work again. I would gess that the files in the debian package is corrupt. Or that the instructions for cross installing are incorrect. It could also be because of the redhat system that I cross installed from. I did receive errors when I was installing the debian packages However they all seemed to install ok. I am interested to know what is wrong with the packages. And would be interested in writing some info for installing the hurd from a redhat system
