When installing Debian GNU/Hurd K10 (the latest release) from CDs,
everything goes OK, except that I receive a bunch of messages telling
that no 'root' user exists: from chown, login... So, ./makedev and other
scripts don't work correctly and I cannot login or make anything.
I've followed all the steps: creating new Hurd and swap partitions,
initializing the Hurd one (not the swap one), and then installing the
base system. When I run ./native-install for first time, I start
receiving those messages.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Did you boot into single mode the first time?
(Not sure it is somehow related with your problem, but seems worth checking.)
