Re: Booting HURD

    I have a problem with booting Hurd from IDE secondary master.
   It's Grub name is hd1, root= (hd1,0). GNUmach and serverboot starts,
   and then serversboot can't find it's configuration script at
   /dev/hd2s0/boot/servers.boot
   All other device names don't work too.
   Why? Is it GNUmach bug?

The way partitions are named is a bit confusing.  While the drive
numbers are 0-based (hd0, hd1, hd2, etc.) the partitions are 1-based
(hd2s1, hd2s2, etc.)  So you probably have to specify
/dev/hd2s1/boot/servers.boot if the configuration script is located on
the first partition of the master drive on the secundary IDE interface
(hd2s1 corresponds to hdc1 on Linux).
