Hi, I saw this message in the archives and its replies: http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2002/debian-hurd-200205/msg00131.html Did anyone ever get this to work? My problem is that grub boots, but cant find any partitions on the disk image. root (hd0) file system type unknown, using the whole disk root (hd0,0) partition table invalid or corrupt find /boot/gnumach.gz File not found The instructions on ftp://walfield.org/pub/people/ams/hurd/creating_bochs_image_for_gnu.txt say that you should write a partition table to the loopback device with fdisk, but not create any partititons. That is what I did, but it didnt work. I also tried to create a partition, but was unable to mount it to do the cross-install. /dev/loop0 is the equivalent of say /dev/hda, but there is no loop equivalent for /dev/hda1. What I did was: createdisk hurd.hd0 512 get the grub.ext2 image, and rename it to grub.fd0 setup the .bochsrc to refference these files losetup /dev/loop1 hurd.hd0 write a partition table with fdisk (I also tried skipping this) mkfs -t ext2 -o hurd /dev/loop0 mount, and run the cross-install /mnt unmount, losetup -d, and run /usr/lib/bochs/bochs-x (the debian wrapper seems broken) grub came up but couldnt find the kernel :( It seems others have this problem too: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/bochs-developers/2000-June/000785.html Supposedly people have gotten this to work, but I cant imagine how. Any ideas? PS. I am not subscribed to the list.. Thanks, Norbert
