I don't remember it now... Maybe the next time. It complains about
that vmap can't map whole disk and it simply can't mount the drive...

Oh sorry... typo error. I used hurd always; giving none here returns a
completly different error, and I also tried without the -L
HURD as somebody said, but that makes no difference. -L only sets the
ext2 label...

Ok I'll try, but I've cross-compiled my the cvs gnumach kernel and
also doesn't works. I think it's a problem of gnumach with my drive,
so it can't get the correct partition size.
I will try to reinstall it also in my old drive (500 MB), and if
works, I will try to patch gnumach if I can find the error.
