It may have been unnecessary to go through all the stuff I
did but I wanted to make sure that things worked properly.

I got version 1.12 of the e2fsprogs from the site:

ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/ext2fs/old/

In source form.  I then configured it so that it would
install in /usr/local/hurd/.  I built and installed 
the e2fsprogs package.  Then I reset root's path 
to have /usr/local/hurd/bin and /usr/local/hurd/sbin
take precedence and did:

mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hdb1

Yes, I could have specified the path to mke2fs on the
command line, however if mke2fs makes calls to other tools
in the e2fsprogs suite, I wasn't sure where it would get
them.

After that procedure above the process is exactly the 
same as in the installation guide.
