Hi, I tried to get the hurd running, but ran into problems. Sorry this is such a long message; I felt it best to give all the info I have.
The changes I made to cross-install to get it to work (and some minor
improvement) are as follows:

At this point, nothing else happened. After the time it took to type
the messages above into my laptop, the machine was still hung...
Details of my system follow. I think all the important stuff is claimed
to be supported by mach and hurd (the IDE floppy and parport CDRW not
being important at the moment...) AFAICS, the only thing odd about
my system is the output from "fdisk -l /dev/hdb" (see below). IIRC, I
created /dev/hdb's partition table using Linux fdisk, so the only reason I
can see for the messages fdisk gives is that the disk geometry translation
must have changed at some point. I don't know why, because I don't
really know what's responsible for EIDE disk geometry and translation.
As far as I know, GRUB uses LBA and I'd hope that Mach would do so too.
I'd appreciate any ideas on what could be wrong...
