Follow-up:
Execute a shell: root file system is a RAM disk, ash, nano, hdd is (not)
on /target

Mounting the hdd:
mkdir /target                                                                   
settrans
-a /target /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd0s1                                     
chroot /target                                                                  

ls: looks OK!

Installing grub:
grub-install /dev/hd0
Illegal instruction

update-grub
Killed

Can I reboot, I doubt it??
