I did it too a few months ago. But I installed Hurd from the debian cds. ---8<---(part of my mail to bug-hurd@gnu.org on january/february) I've installed Debian GNU/Hurd H2 on bochs (using only cd 1 for the moment) !! (Last time, it was F2)
_ALL_ works : install, native_install, initial.sh and second.sh !!! ---8<--- I was not able to make X working (I suspect the vga bios of bochs) but the improvements that have benn made make me think it could work today. I tried to install Debian GNU/Hurd H4 a few weeks ago, but the system froze while trying to run native_install. :( I haven't tried it again (maybe I only was unlucky) but in a few days, I'll get the Debian GNU/Hurd J1 cds, and I will try it again. > > Do you have the same problems than those listed in > http://khazad.dyndns.org/bochs/gnu/PROBLEMS ?

I have another suggestion: instead of using a tarball (gnu-latest.tar.gz) of the system, we could try to work to create an image of a hurd system from the debian cds... As I said, I've seen native_install and the scripts in /cdrom/upgrade working. It would be more understandable for users to have a debian-based image instead of a developper's image (a developper's image is important too, but maybe not for a debian package). > > > > The documentation is available here : > > > > http://perso.debian-fr.org/asyd/hurd/bochs-hurd.html That's good ! There was yet such a guide from Alfred Szmidt: ftp://walfield.org/pub/people/ams/hurd/creating_bochs_image_for_gnu.txt olivier
