It may simply be -- I've seen this myself -- that the system runs out of memory, as at the native-install stage (I think at least) swap is not yet configured and enabled. What I've been doing is: boot (with -s), MAKEDEV hdWHATEVER in /dev/ for the swap device, run /hurd/mach-defpager, followed by swapon /dev/hdWHATEVER.

Yes, that's (unfortunately) a known limitation of the native-install script. Regards, Thomas
