Installing Debian Gnu/Hurd in qemu
Yesterday out of a whim I tried to install Gnu/Hurd K6 images on
qemu (Debian package qemu) with a 512MB image, emulated CDROM (the
K6 image file) and the grub_092 boot floppy.

Some questions/observations:
In the instructions for K5 it says that the grub_092 image is
included on the CD-ROM. I did not find it there.
see: http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd
I did find one by googling for the filename:
client21% md5sum.textutils Downloads/grub_0.92
98c9d3f4e9cd1c7066a7a84f740c2d35 Downloads/grub_0.92
which seems to be the right one. Is this a problem with the CD or
are the instructions old?
After the first reboot (first boot with Grub into Hurd) I did not
know which item to select:

I do think this menu is a bit confusing. None of the "PREFERRED" options
worked, so I selected hd0s1 single-user, which did actually boot fine.
I ran native-hurd once, rebooted, ran native-hurd a second time.
After some setup, qemu crashed. I think I will file a bug against
quemu. But the other items above should also be relevant to "normal"
installs.
Also I would love to hear if somebody else successfuly installed
the Hurd on qemu!
Thanks for your efforts with Debian Gnu/Hurd!
