I am trying to boot into Hurd and I have the following problems. My Hurd 
parition is ~998 MB and is below the 2GB and 8GB boundaries on my second 
hard drive. I enter the following commands at the GRUB command line:

root (hd1,1)
kernel /boot/gnumach.gz -s root=device:hd1s2
module /hurd/ext2fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line}
module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
boot

Then GNU Mach boots and scrolls through the boot messages until it comes 
to the following lines and it stops:

2 multiboot modules
    task loaded: /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec

It freezes here. I checked and I am not doing any IRQ sharing. I have 
followed all the other instructions from the Hurd Installation Guide you 
guys have posted on the web site. I also downloaded the 
gnu-latest.tar.gz as of yesterday. Can anyone help me?

Also, I would like to join the development of Hurd. I am a computer 
science major in college right now. I haven't had an operating systems 
class yet but I have taken data structures and algorithms. I figure that 
this is a good chance for me to learn systems programming. Is there any 
way I can help and volunteer my time?

Thanks,
James Lacey
