hangs with (hd0,2)/hurd/ext2fs.static

[Shakthi Kannan]

Greetings!

Thanks to Anand Babu for getting us started on
GNU/Hurd. I have installed Knoppix 3.6 to hard disk.
Have made a 1 GB Linux native partition for GNU/Hurd
(/dev/hdb3). Created the filesystem using:

#mke2fs -b 4096 -o hurd /dev/hdb3

Mounted the same using:

#mount /dev/hdb3 /gnu

Installed crosshurd, executed it. Obtained grub floppy
image from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub.  Wrote to
floppy using:

#dd if=grub-0.90-i386-pc.ext2fs of=/dev/fd0 bs=512
    
Rebooted to grub.At grub prompt,

/*
    ("find /boot/gnumach.gz" returns (hd0,2)
*/
    
grub>    kernel (hd0,2)/boot/gnumach.gz
root=device:hd1s3 -s
grub>    module (hd0,2)/hurd/ext2fs.static
       
--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line}
        --host-priv-port=${host-port}
        --device-master-port=${device-port}

        $(task-create) $(task-resume)
grub>    module (hd0,2)/lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec
$(exec-task=task-create)
grub>    boot

Any help in getting the prompt is appreciated.
