That's right. But note that if you want to use FAT filesystem, you
may use mtools or FDclone. I tested mtools under GNU/Hurd about 6
months ago, and it worked for me.

You should mention what caused it to lock up exactly. Just "locking
up" won't help us to fix the problem.
BTW "missing suport for linux virtual terminals" seems to be strange
for me, as Hurd is not Linux. I don't think it's desirable to make
Hurd "Linux-clone" at all.
