  I assume that you use ext2fs. If you try to mount the third
partition of the first disk, you must write:

root= (hd0,2)
kernel= /boot/gnumach.gz root=hd0s3
module= /boot/serverboot.gz

In GRUB, partitions are counted from zero, while counted from one on
Mach. I think this should be written into GNU/Hurd FAQ.
