Yes, I meant which partition of the virtual drive. Since it works for you and you have it at device:hd0s1, I think I'll try to copy that.Michael D.

The VM settings are 1 processor, 512MB ram, 8MB video memory, 8GB IDE HD, PCnet PCI II network adapter. I have problems with running X but I'm not sure that's related to VBox.Where is GNU/Hurd installed?Inside VirtualBox. The Host system is GNU/Linux Debian unstable. And, what does your /boot/grub/menu.lst say? The one in the VM for the Hurd? I have grub 2 there, so there's no menu.lst but grub.cfg. It's an unmodified config from grub-mkconfig.

I haven't tried grub2 under VirtualBox but my host uses it, so I'll give that a try. Thank You for your response Michael |
