You might want to check if cross-install created the directory /servers and in it a file (usually of size 0) called `exec'. This is the place where the exec 
server is attached during bootup. If you add it manually your system might
boot properly,
Thanks for your help. I did what you recommended: created /servers/exec-- and fsck-ed the hurd partition. The Hurd started up fine in single-user mode, except for the puzzling problem of having to repeat every keystroke, which running native-install and rebooting solved, of course.
Now I have the Hurd running on my Pentium, I'm ready to try to boot on my 486.

however I suggest that you redo the installation with
cross-install and make sure that you have the latest version of the scripts
from http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd.
