the  translator that helps open the device is created.
    

Indeed... So I guess we better don't commit it just yet :-)

   *boot/boot.c: add an option to open the virtual network interface
    

That's not a complete changelog...
  
Hello,

Here is the new patch for boot. The patch is trying to make boot work 
with devnode.
I suppose the device file created by devnode should normally be in /dev/.
The boot now accesses devnode only when the request is to open the 
virtual network interface created by multiplexer.

Needed for Hurd 0.3

        * boot/boot.c (ds_device_open): Handle the request to open the virtual 
network device.
