But it always worked before. I can also mount /dev/hd1 to my file system.
'settrans -a subhurd /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd1' works on my system.

antrik, have you used my modified subhurd? I wanted to try samuel's patch and
see whether the patch can fix the bug in the modified subhurd (subhurd sometimes
hangs). Can you try that for me if you have the time and if you have my modified
subhurd?

Thanks,
