I have just pushed a few commits to wip-hurd-vm.

    b0df9b0c6b squash! bootloader: grub: Add support for '<hurd-menu-entry>'.

We were using a cross-built gnumach, which does not work.  This did not
happen with "vm-image" because "qemu-image" of how qemu-image built
grub.  Best to squash that later.

    6169cb6396 Revert "system: hurd: Remove bash from boot process."

As mentioned in the commit, where we used to run patched linux in the
VM, the "Remove bash from boot process" patch would now rely on the
host's linux being patched.  It's a bit early times/inconvenient to
demand this, I suppose...

    c378a2beec linux-boot: Update 'make-hurd-device-nodes'.

Moved a part of the Hurd stuff here, and the rest

    b605a36031 WIP hurd-directives

here.  It does not work and I don't understand that I had to add a call
to make-device-nodes...that's probably not how you want it to work?

Anyway...no real luck yet.  I'm stuck at:

start ext2fs: Hurd server bootstrap: ext2fs[device:hd0s1] exec startup proc auth
/hurd/startup: Failed to bind to /servers/startup: Device or resource busy
.
/gnu/store/5m6m1ic2m4m43nv4wl7nfa5ab9p76b2g-hurd-0.9-1.91a5167/hurd/exec: main.c:358: S_exec_init: Unexpected error: (ipc/mig) bad request message ID.

Ideas? ... Ludo perhaps?

Greetings,
janneke
