What are the sizes of the above partitions? The Hurd currently doesn't
support anything bigger than about 1GB.

I don't know if having the kernel on an different partition works
(should work). But you could try tossing it onto (hd1,1).
The module line looks OK from here.

That is peculiar, what tar-ball are you using? Are there any IRQs
that are shared (this shouldn't cause any problems here actually)?
How much RAM does the box have (I recall that things can just stop
working like that if you are really low on memory)?

An successful boot usually ends in an login prompt or an shell
prompt. :)
