I took it as the possibility to re-install Hurd :-)
About my test, since my laptop [1] isn't fully supported, I plan to
use Hurd on QEmu and thus I created a 4G qemu-img. I booted QEmu
through the Debian Sarge debian-31r6a-i386-binary-1.iso [2], created
one big partition for / via d-i and then in a console created the ext2
filesystem as explained at [3]. The debootstrap process finished
successfully, but debootsrap.log contains an error:
/usr/lib/debootstrap/functions: line 838: /bin/settrans: \
No such file or directory
Debootstrapping in a i386 sid chroot on the same amd64 sid gave the
same error and the same segfault :-(
As I cannot chroot in it because I'm on an amd64 sid, I tested it
directly on QEmu, with the grub-disk image from etch [4]. The boot is
OK, but it stops at:
Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs.static[device:hd0s1] execext2fs.static
/build/mblank/hurd-20070606/built-tree/hurd/libdiskfs/boot-start.c:396:
diskfs_execboot_fsys_startup: Unexpected error: No such file or
directory
Sorry, I haven't had time yet to investigate the QEmu error.
Thx, bye,

[2] my laptop has 2G RAM, so 1G in QEmu is enough for Hurd

[4] the one in sid depedns on grub-rescue-pc (from grub2), which lacks
the default menu entries
