Hello there, I finally got the HURD to boot in a VMware environment. Went through the setup with ./native-install, etc and after going multiuser, It seems to break out of a startup script because at the point where it tries to fsck the root filesystem before mounting read-write, it complains because the filesystem is already read-write.
So, if the above isn't too much of a run-on sentence, my question is: Is there a parameter I can pass to the mach kernel from grub to tell it to mount the root device read-only? Most of the docs that I've seen seem to apply to the now-deprecated (if I read correctly) serverboot method of starting things up. There is hardly anything at all about directly loading mach from grub. Also, it seems that ctrl-C doesn't work to exit processes. For instance, if apt-get gets lost, I have to crash the VM and reboot to get control back. If I'm in the wrong list here, let me know. Dave...
