Yes, there is a /hurd/exec, and I have a /server directory (and there is a 0 byte exec file in it). In fact I dumped most of my hurd partition to CD just to see what would happen if I ever got it to boot. > > Well, one thing that happens in the boot procedure is that exec is attached > to the /servers/exec node.

Just for reference, when iso9660fs boots for real, it starts to barf in libstore/open.c after it gets called from store_parsed_open(). Or it probably barfs here -- this is where I got tired of the "debug by printf" method and started looking towards gdb and "boot". If true, that probably narrows it down to either file_name_lookup() or store_create() that fails.
