I read this guide instead [1] and with a few more GRUB commands, I got it booting. However, now it fails on native-install. I sent a mail to the debian-hurd mailing list about this [2]. [1] http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00008.html Thanks for that GRUB image. It didn't fix my current problem, but at least I don't have to write all that GRUB magic manually anymore. :-) /Patrik
