Most of the boot problem bug reports on debian-hurd are caused because people are using an extremely old version of GRUB (0.4) to try booting the Hurd.
I was puzzled about where people were getting it from. After some investigation, I found that it's because the Easy Guide recommends that people use gnu-0.2/grub-boot.image from their GNU mirror. That file is sadly out-of-date (and won't be updated, since it belongs to a past release), so I've prepared a new ext2fs mini boot floppy with an updated version of GRUB on it: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-boot-0.5.93.1.image The image is just big enough to hold all the boottime GRUB files, and a config file. If there is demand for a full 1.44MB or 1.2MB image, then I can make one... I just thought people would appreciate the low bandwidth requirements of a mini image. Matthew, please update the Easy Guide to mention this image instead, as it will solve the serverboot and GRUB ext2fs problems people have encountered.
