(Note that this is a custom gnumach, cross-compiled on linux with:
MIG=i386-gnu-mig CC=i386-gnu-gcc ./configure --enable-com \
--enable-floppy --enable-ide --enable-lpr --enable-elcp \
--enable-tulip --enable-kmsg i386-pc-gnu --prefix=/gnu
as the installation gnumach.gz will not boot.)
Yes, the partition is mounted, and native-install had been run (twice -
as per the instructions).
This error occurs with gnumach only. Oskit-mach doesn't have any problems.
Also, gnumach errors when trying to mount hd1s2.
#mount /mnt (/dev/hd1s2 is assigned to /mnt in /etc/fstab)
#ext2fs: /dev/hd1s2: panic: get_hypermetadata: disk size (49351680 bytes) \
too small: superblock says we need 995258368
#mount: cannot start translator /hurd/ext2fs: Translator died
Again, oskit-mach mounts the same partition with no complaints

I assume you mean: "settrans -apfg /servers/socket/2 --/hurd/pfinet \
--address=192.168.1.30 --gateway=192.168.1.1 --netmask=255.255.255.0"
No errors are reported immediately. Still, ping (and any other network-
related commands) fail.
#ping localhost
#ping: socket: Translator died
This occurs with both gnumach and oskit-mach.
