Hi, I became adventurous and decided to try the HURD. When generating a boot floppy with grub-floppy-1991023 I managed to boot it and to start the system. All looked fine. When moving onto another (more modern) machine however I got "Disk read error" when specifying: "root (hd1,0)" even though I used physically the same disk and it was connected to the same IDE port (secondary slave). The grub version seems to be 0.5.92. I then tried to build grub-0.5.94 which I succeeded. I prepared a floppy with an ext2 file system and put stage1, stage2 and menu.list under /floppy/boot/grub. I did the installation using grub from Linux. This floppy also boots, the menu comes up and if I wait long enough the HURD boots (this time I don't get the Disk read error!). When I type whatsoever on the keyboard however, the program seems to blow up (it blocks and doesn't react any more. In the docs you can find several different procedures to make a grub boot floppy but up to no I did not succeed to get a boot loader where everything works as expected. (That should be the one which I want to install onto the MBR finally. Do you have anu suggestions on what to try next? I got the very latest version from CVS but was unable to boot that one.
