A similar version of the above indeed found the partition and succesfully loaded Mach and Hurd. However... 'crosshurd' [1] is currently broken: 1) Due to Secure APT, 'crosshurd' must Depends on debian-ports-archive-keyring, otherwise, it cannot proceed. 2) Even once the keyring is installed, it fails to complete. Too many broken dependencies for the base install. Trying to manually 'dpkg -i' everything that's in /var/cache/apt/archives in stages eventually fixes it. However, it messes with ./native-install's idea of what stage is completed. It never reaches the point when it asks me to reboot to proceed to the next stage. 3) Typing 'reboot' anyhow fails, because 'crosshurd' never fetched the package that provides it. 4) Rebooting manually (power switch) gets us to a Mach+Hurd that succesfully loads off GRUB, but cannot proceed, because 'crosshurd' also forgot to install '/sbin/init'.
