Has anyone > (Jeroen?) tried to boot for example the Hurd (or Hurd/L4)? AFAIK it can be used to boot GNU/Hurd. IIRC I used that. But there were some problems with the multiboot scripts as they are used. The variables are parsed by GRUB 2 as well so you have to escape them. Just have a look at my script to create boot floppies, IIRC that one worked for booting GNU/Hurd. I did not test :4 Hurd yet. -- Marco
