Well, the user would have to determine the block list notation of a
partition manually. Note that gnumach is not recognized by GRUB
specifically, so GRUB has no opportunity to pass any gnumach-specific
argument automatically. Thus, if Hurd requires that the user adds
information on a root partition to the command "kernel", the user
needs to run a command to calculate the block list of a partition and
then to paste it. That sounds unreasonably non-user-friendly to me.
So I think it is a much better way to have a library to interpret
partitions than to have GRUB to do the dirty work.
