Fair enough, took a bit of time to re try the three methods.  I had thought that I had reached the same ending point, but I couldna reproduce said results.  So I shall post three follow-up replyes with what each method yielded, Crosshurd-via Debian GNU/Linux-Sid, Debian GNU/Hurd CD's & GNU-Hurd.tar-ball.

Thanks for responding.
Cheers

All three methods seem to crap out when trying to run

If you want more help than `your hardware might not be supported' I
suggest to report the error messages/screen output you see when
native-install `craps out'.
