If it came from the Hurd CD, then you should be OK. If it is a Linux floppy, then you will probably have problems.
While Linux is used for the intial installation, the boot floppies have been severely butchered so they will create the Hurd fs and unpack the Hurd tarball (baseHurd.tgz). At the first reboot the Hurd is booted and the only legacy of the Linux phase is formated partitions and an upacked baseHurd.tgz
