Have you used debootstrap before? If not, I suggest you play with it a bit on Debian GNU/Linux, then you should play with neighbourhurds for a bit. Once you are comfortable with neighbourhurds, then get the patch for hurd-i386 support for debootstrap from the debian BTS and try getting a subhurd going using debootstrap.
Also, instead of a tarball of device files, you can try using a filesystem image for the device filesystem.
