Hello,
My own recent experiences to add!

Same here.

I found that the problem disappeared after I remade the partition with
mke2fs -o hurd -b 4096
This sets the block size to 4096 while the default is 1024. Is that
the correct diagnosis?
Other than that I would say the install went smoother (and more than
a bit faster) than an install of Debian GNU/Linux 0.99 on a 386.
(My current install is on a PIII ;-).
Thanks and regards,
Kapil.
