I think you are looking for
'cd /dev;./MAKEDEV -v hd2'
Your boot log should show it
hd0: HITACHI_DK23CA-30B, 7559MB w/2048kB Cache, CHS=1023/240/63, UDMA
hd2: SONY CD-RW CRX700E, ATAPI CDROM drive
You may have to initiate a /dev/klog to see that by doing the
following.
settrans -fgc /dev/klog /hurd/streamio kmsg
cat /dev/klog > $CONSOLE_LOG &
CAT=$!; sleep 5; kill $CAT

If you have a network connection apt-get is a powerful installation
tool.
see the installation manual for details.

I have this problem with the default mount binary. I found if you
build it w/o optimization it doesn't hang, or if you are mounting :-)
