i followed this guide: http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install
and in section "5 - booting GNU/Hurd" i see this:
Assuming that the first drive (i.e. `(hd0)') is the master on the
secondary controller, we would have:
grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd2s1 -s
[Multiboot-elf, ...]
read this: "Assuming that the first drive (i.e. `(hd0)') is the

what does that mean, if anything ?
i have simply an ATA attached and this is the only disk i have on my
system and i am installing it on 4th partition of my hard-disk {
(hd0,3) for GRUB }

this from my Arch GNU/Linux distro. nevermind the "sda". actually
"Arch" uses sda for both ATA and Serial-ATA hard-disks and i have an
ATA, (not Serial-ATA).
so i do not understand which one i should use:
this: grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd1s3 -s
or this: grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd1s4 -s
or this: grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s3 -s
or this: grub> kernel (hd0,0)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s4 -s
any idea ??
