Debian testing/unstable now uses Grub2 as rescue disk, so grub-disk is an empty dummy package for the Grub2 version, which "conveniently" drops you into a Grub> prompt, right. You can try to grab a grub-disk 0.97-28 or earlier from Debian stable or http://snapshot.debian.net > So I looked at the 'cookbook' on the K16 CD..

Yes indeed. However, there are a couple of other grub disks/ISOs floating around on the net, they just don't have a nice menu, so you will have to enter the canonical GNU/Hurd Grub commands manually for the first few times.
