Thanks! That worked for me.  It would be a good idea to merge that
patch and push the result into Trixie.

I can now reboot and log into that as root.

Getting a console required installing 'keyboard-configuration'
otherwise I was stuck with the US keyboard.
 'ifupdown' also had to be installed and configured by hand. Once I
got that, I was good to go.

One question:

Is there still a limit on the amount of swap Mach/Hurd can manage?

Thanks!
