Some of the errors you've posted are known bugs: this one, end_request: I/O error, dev 03:04, sector 28 is a bogus error message that will occur in case a hard drive has an extended patition. It has no impact on system functionality, and can be safely ignored. This one, console-run: /dev/console: No such file or directory /libexec/console-run: Using temporary console /tmp/console /libexec/runsystem: Running on fallback console /tmp/console is because the first time you boot the system, no devices exist (devices are Hurd translators, so there's no way to create them from another system). /dev/console should be created in the first run of native-install. In your error2.txt the error had to do with /etc/fstab not existing; the second run of native-install will create a minimal fstab, but you'll need to fill in its details yourself. It's used by fsck to determine what devices to check at boot, and by swapon to activate the swap partition. The problem you report in error3.txt is a recently noted issue, discussed within the last couple of months on bug-hurd: as a workaround, add the following to your grub configuration module /hurd/ext2fs.static --readonly --multiboot-command-line... Also, it seems in your install-log.txt that you booted single-user only once after untarring. It's necessary to boot single-user and run native-install twice after unpacking the files. This is documented in Mr. Walfield's installation guide. I don't remember exactly what gets done during the first run, but I believe the second run initializes the dpkg databases and creates a minimal /etc/fstab.
