This seems to be due to a bug in Hurd but not in Mach. The Linux partition handling code (genhd.c in gnumach) sets NR_SECTS to 2 if NR_SECTS of an extended partition is more than 2, because normal programs should not use any extended partition. An extended partition should be used only to put logical partitions into it. Therefore, I suspect that serverboot (and/or other program in Hurd) tries to read 2 sectors starting at 28 from any partition, whether it is an extended partition or not.
