I am trying to get a running Debian/GNU/Hurd system , nad had some problems with grub and with the partition.
I will outline what I did : - downloaded the hurd base system. - I have a ext3 partition that I think I can do away with . mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda11 IIRC this hda11 appears in the partition table as : logical ext2 hda11 - mount /dev/hda11 testmnt cd testmnt tar zxpvf <<the base system>> - Now I try to get the grub boot floppy image from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub Strangely the files there do not indicate any boot floppy or grub- source package ! Anyway I downloaded whatever I found there , and never got any grub-install script or a boot floppy image. - I used lilo to try boot from hda11 (so may be I can get grub) , by adding other=/dev/hda11 label=Hurd - lilo -v shows that hda11 does not have a valid boot signature. - cfdisk , anf I give a boot flag to this logical partition (I also find that neither my / nor my /boot have any boot flags !) , write to the partition table , and reboot ... no effect. lilo still feels the same about hda11 . Please help.I shall also greatly appreciate if you can get me a floppy-boot image or bettr still , the grub - source .
