Here's your trouble: the Hurd doesn't use partition id 63; the
authors of <c|s|>fdisk misidentified this as id 'Hurd'. Change its
type to 83 (identified as Linux). Probably Grub won't look at these
partitions, since Grub uses partition id numbers as indicators of the
filesystem on the disk.
That this partition id is not used by the Hurd is documented in a
few places, I think.
Hope that helps
