Buddy are you trying to install on your own or are you reading any type of documentation? Alot of these questions are covered. (hd0,0) is GRUB device naming. /dev/hdc1 is Linux naming convention and hd2s1 is the Hurd naming conventions. hdx Refers to hard-drive x starting with 0 as the master drive on the primary IDE channel. Partitions sx start with 1 so in your case hd2s1 is the first partition on the first ide drive of the second ide channel. So, for fsck, you would need to run fsck.ext2 /dev/hd2s1 Does that help any?
