When I boot, I get: Partition check (DOS partitions): sd0: sd0s1 sd0s2 sd0s3 sd0s4 <sd0s5 sd0s6 sd0s7> hd0: hd0s1 hd0s2 hd0s3 hd0s4 gnumach then detects my com ports and prompts me for the root device name (ie: root device []?) Note that if you make a mistake and hit backspace, you fuck yourself. So, do not make errors. I type in sd0s5 and it starts booting as normal. If this does not help, what version of the tarball / hurd package are you using? There was a bug in old hurd packages (Jan 2000) where this would happen (grub could read the ext2fs partition but the hurd could not). -Neal -- Neal H Walfield University of Massachusetts at Lowell [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
