Details:

Here is a possible patch for:
util/grub.d/30_os-prober.in
to provide the correct device name for booting the Hurd (it expects device
names like:
hd0s2
instead of:
(hostdisk//dev/sda,msdos2)
provided currently).
The patch was originally submitted as a Debian bug at:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=825292
