you need the grub boot loader
hi
GRUB
the grand universal bootloader
you need this and it needs to be set up to boot your GNU/HURD box
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-faq.html
others may give you some more cook book steps (maybe not)
I had a dual boot machine
GNU/LINUX and another part for GNU/HURD
I compiled grub under linus and installed it on the MBR
you have to copy the menulist over to you /boot/grub dir and edit it
I actuall boot 3 os's hurd, linux. and {%-< duhos (its a company laptop)
after you get grub installed and the menu set, you boot up and get a chosser
menu pick your os (really cool) if you fowl up the menu it is ok
grub allows you to edit the settings
by the way HURD does not use linux partition names
and grub counts partitions starting at 0
READ ALL THE README's and DOC's, it is not a trival procedure (to me at least)
cheers
Donny
