What do you mean by grub boot parameters? The grub.conf snippet I
posted previously is the only way I have configured grub

I am using pentium 3 500 MHz, with 192 MB RAM, a Via Apollo Pro 133A
chipset and a nvidia tnt2 pro videocard. I have installed the hurd on
the third primary partion of my primary slave hard disk.

Yes, but the Mach has not lived upto expectations and the focus now is
to port hurd to the L4 microkernel. My primary interest in the Hurd is
the fact that the port will be a major re-write and that it is still
in its infancy. So there is a lot to do, and many new problems to
solve.

I installed the hurd to get a feel for the system and to see how the
design helps in solving the problems faced on other systems.
