I think the trick is to have a second copy of grub available compiled
for Linux. Basically run grub --batch, with a fancy install parameter
to tell it to point to all the right places on the Hurd partition.
However, if you're short of time, I suspect that simply having a
linux-compiled grub shell on the ramdisk would be a big improvement.
That way it would be possible for someone to install without a floppy.
