Please note that I also use a small (50 MB) boot partition, which also
houses GRUB. However, I boot the Hurd from its own partition. This
works fine, though the directory structure for /boot is a little
funny (you have to have /boot/boot/grub -- i.e., grub must be placed
in its own directory called /boot, which must live at the root of
the file system.) When you mount /dev/hda1 (or /dev/hd0s1 in Hurd
talk), you end up with /boot/boot/grub.
This is all covered in the docs, as has been pointed out.
