On the other (on a different host) I was doing grub2-install myself. In both cases I got the same result, with GRUB working fine, but then rumpdisk apparently misbehaving.

Yes, I'd like to use libvirt eventually too, like I'm doing for my i686 Hurd VM. But I need greater control over how I invoke QEMU for now. Sergey P.S. I have posted all of my patches, so if you're interested in hacking on aarch64-gnu Mach, you should be able to build the full toolchain now.
