A good first step to that might be to get the debian-installer build process for the hurd to the point that it can generate a d-i tree on disk, which could then be chrooted (or hurd equiv) into, and the installer started. The installer won't run to completion inside a chroot, but you can get the basics going that way before worrying about exactly how to boot it on the hurd. With some porting, you could probably get a chrooted d-i to the point of netcfg being able to configure the network on the hurd, at which point it would probably be able to download and install hurd udebs. After that, you just have to figure out how to boot d-i from install media for the hurd, make the partitioner work, and then write bootloader installer code to get grub to boot the installed hurd system... -- see shy jo
