Are you certain that you want to install the Hurd on bare hardware? The Hurd is not as stable as GNU/Linux. Most Hurd developers run the Hurd in qemu. This is probably the easiest way to run the Hurd. That being said, I would guess that the Hurd does not have UEFI support...but I do not know for certain. I do know of one Hurd developer who managed to install Debian GNU/Hurd on a Thinkpad T60. Those old Thinkpads are pretty awesome. I'm using a T400, and it was only $50 on ebay. Also, as far as I know, you have to use the proprietary BIOS to boot the Hurd. Coreboot or libreboot currently do not support booting the Hurd. That being said, you can probably still boot the Hurd in newer laptops...You can normally boot a UEFI laptop in BIOS compatibility mode.
