Re: 'ran out of pages' error when booting system installed from Hurd H1

I created the boot floppy from the HURD H1 CD. It gave me the expected prompts from the initrd and appeared to find and install the HURD .debs with no errors.

The boot floppy, where did it come from?  If it came from the Hurd CD,
then you should be OK.  If it is a Linux floppy, then you will
probably
have problems.

While Linux is used for the intial installation, the boot floppies
have
been severely butchered so they will create the Hurd fs and unpack the
Hurd tarball (baseHurd.tgz).  At the first reboot the Hurd is booted
and
the only legacy of the Linux phase is formated partitions and an
upacked
baseHurd.tgz
