Hello,
Today I tried to install the Hurd again. As expected, I met with no
success, but I have got a new error message. This time I didn't supply the
'-s' option to kernel=/boot/gnumach root=hd2s1 -s, and the new message was
"/hurd/init: Using temporary console /tmp/console"
"/hurd/init: Cannot execute /libexec/rc: No such file or directory"
...
This could be a clue to the gurus about what is happening. Here is the
output.
%%% command> root=(hd1,0)
%%% Filesystem type is ext2fs
%%% command> kernel=/boot/gnumach root=hd2s1 -s
%%% Loading: [format=Multiboot-elf, <0x100000:0x173067:0x0>,

%%% command> module=/boot/serverboot
%%% command> boot

...

%%% /hurd/init: Cannot execute /libexec/rc: No such file or directory
%%% /hurd/init: Cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file of directory
%%% init: rebooting Mach (flags 0) ...
... and the machine reboots. This was all before running the
native-install script. **Please** someone help me with this, I am
desparately trying to install Hurd since the end of March, but never met
with success.
Thanks in advance ...
