subhurds

[Thomas Schwinge]

Hello!

Are subhurds meant to be bootable by ordinary mortals?  Trying this
currently looks like this:

#v+
$ boot -D subhurd subhurd/boot/script.boot subhurd.ext2fs
boot: /hurd/ext2fs.static: mach_port_insert_right: (os/kern) invalid value
                                                                          mach 
error
#v-

(The terminal is in a messed state afterwards and has to be reset by
e.g. `reset'.)

Booting with `sudo boot ...' works.


I've been using Ben Asselstine's neat script
<http://www.superunprivileged.org/hurd/gosub.sh> to create the
`subhurd.ext2fs' image.  Comments about adding somethink like this script
to the Hurd's cvs repository?


Regards,
 Thomas
