Now I notice in the instructions, after running ./native-install for the second time I should get asked the following questions;
Choose "1. Dialog" frontend. Choose "3. medium" "Do you want system wide readable home directories?" type "yes" "Should tcpd setup paranoid hosts.allow and hosts.access" type "yes"I do not get asked these questions. The script ends, but I forget what it said. I could re-run it & see what it does say if that would be of help. Regardless, I was able to reboot & edit "/etc/default/hurd-console" with "/etc/default/hurd-console ='true'". It was after this point that I wound up with the error mentioned above.
As a side note, an because I could not think of anything else to try, I mounted the hurd filesystem on my Sid install. Formated a target partition & copied the whole hurd filesystem to the new partition. When I boot to that partition from grub (not running qemu) it runs throught the boot process, ends with several errors (to fast I can not read them) & reboots.
Looks like it's time to try this on another computer. If anything jumps out at you for sorting this out let me know.
