Hi,
I've build hurd 20040508-3 with ext2fs_20040819.diff.gz patch applied (the one that fixes the 2G limit). To use, enter the following in /etc/apt/sources.list, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade:
deb http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~ogi/hurd/repo/ ./
This repository is suitable for crosshurd too. If the above is put in sources.list used by crosshurd, then hurd can be directly installed into partition larger that 2G.
Regards, ogi
