<adrian15>So... If I boot SG2D from a BIOS its Grub device is hd0 and Hurd device is hd1. So I put hd1 as the Hurd device but... Hurd apparently uses its own naming scheme and not the same as Grub2 (based on BIOS boot oder). That's concerning.

<adrian15>I guess I cannot pass a filesystem UUID as the root filesystem because the Debian GNU/Hurd image grub.cfg doesn't have it. Or can I?

<adrian15>If I don't have an automatic way of passing a filesystem proper identification to the (micro?)kernel... I would have to ask the user to choose of one the different hard disks that Grub has... so that it can try that, let's say, randomly.

<adrian15>Even worse... if you configfile your internal grub.cfg you won't able to boot into Hurd. Unless I map the specific device to hd0 but then I would need to create a new option just for that. OMG!

<adrian15>Sorry.... configfile of your internal grub.cfg for booting Hurd works perfectly.

<adrian15>So I have thought about a workaround, as this is supposed to be booted only from BIOS, at least, I suspect there is not an UEFI boot. Well, I will substract 1 on whatever Hurd hard disk is detected. So that hd1 becomes hd0, hd3 becomes hd2 and so on.
