Here is my /boot/grub/menu.lst.  It was mostly generated by the grub that came 
with the iso.  I obviously have a different drive and slice than you.  I 
notice you are missing the --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line}.  
I don't know whether it matters but module /lib/ld.so.1... is the start of 
another line.

reate)

I am new to the hurd, and I just broke my installation.  I was updating via 
ftp after dselecting, and I got an error something like:
panic:  zmalloc out of threads... or something to that effect.  So, if anybody 
knows what I can do to prevent that in the future, I would be real happy.  I 
gather it is 'memory allocation' of some type, but the googling did not yield 
anything I could really figure out.

Thanks
