Welcome to crosshurd!
=====================
crosshurd can now be used to install not only GNU, but also GNU/Linux and
GNU/kFreeBSD.
The instructions below apply only to Hurd-based GNU system.
1) Create a partition, and put a file system on it. If you are planning
on using ext2, the command:
mke2fs -o hurd /dev/hda12
(substituting the right partition) is usually good. The -o hurd is
necessary to set appropriate inode and block size and so that the system know
that it's safe to setup translators.
2) Mount it somewhere.
3) Review /etc/crosshurd/sources.list/gnu. The Hurd often requires a few
secondary archives to be added to get all the needed packages. I've
tried to include sensible defaults.
4) Run /usr/sbin/crosshurd
This will ask where the partition is mounted.
Not all packages downloaded by apt will be installed, only Priority: required
ones will be.
5) Setup grub to boot from the new partition.
For a hurd-i386 installation on the first partition of the hd0 disk, you could
add the following to the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom
menuentry "Debian GNU/Hurd" {
set root='hd0,msdos1'
echo 'Loading GNU Mach ...'
multiboot /boot/gnumach-1.8-486-up.gz root=part:1:device:hd0
echo 'Loading the Hurd ...'
module /hurd/pci-arbiter.static pci-arbiter \
--host-priv-port='${host-port}' --device-master-port='${device-port}' \
--next-task='${acpi-task}' \
'$(pci-task=task-create)' '$(task-resume)'
module /hurd/acpi.static acpi \
--next-task='${disk-task}' \
'$(acpi-task=task-create)'
module /hurd/rumpdisk.static rumpdisk \
--next-task='${fs-task}' \
'$(disk-task=task-create)'
module /hurd/ext2fs.static ext2fs \
--multiboot-command-line='${kernel-command-line}' \
--exec-server-task='${exec-task}' -T typed '${root}' \
'$(fs-task=task-create)'
module /hurd/exec.static exec '$(exec-task=task-create)'
}
Following this create a grub configuration file:
grub-mkconfig > /boot/grub/grub.cfg
And then install to your disk, for example:
grub-install /dev/sda
6) On the first boot, run :
./native-install
And when it's done:
reboot
You may see error messages about not being able to chown to root. These
are being worked on and are safe to ignore.
7) Reboot, and enjoy.
