I'd need to port brltty first, before being able to boot a native Hurd.
I could rpobably get it up and running using bochs, but I did not try this yet.

OTOH, the whole port seems miles away from releaseable state,
so I wonder why I should bother.  If there is no permanent buildd running,
I think most developers will not be able to identify
hurd specific problems, even if they were very minor.
