Hmmm... I'm probably out of my league here, but I'll ask anyway.
Why would a native install or a ramdisk be necessary? I was just thinking
of writing a GRUB boot image to the CD and have it boot the hurd system
installed on the rest of the CD. Does the hurd write some
initialization/configuration info to the filesystem? And I thought the
main problem in having a native install was the lack of a hurdish fdisk.
Maybe I'll get some time this weekend to take a look at it.
