Hmmm... strange. Looks like /hurd/isofs is reading somthing that
is actually not an isofs filesystem. Are you sure that hd1 represents
your CD-ROM drive?
You could also check if a /hurd/storeio _is_ actually running on
/dev/hd1 (ps ax).
Is a ISO9660-compliant CD actually inserte in hd1 (sounds silly,
but that can happen too!)?
Just to be sure, try to remove evtl. translators on /cdrom
with 'settrans -fg /cdrom' and try again.
And, BTW, which version of the Hurd are you running?
-Farid.

Murphy's Law fails only when you try to demonstrate it, and thus succeeds.
