That's a good question, how can I know it inside hurd or grub? there is 
no "dmesg".
The setup should be retty simple: a standard IDE hard disk, 40Gb with 
standard 4 partitions.

this is what fdisk reports:

Disk /dev/hd0: 41.0 GB, 40971571200 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4981 cylinders, total 80022600 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

grub2 hasn't been installed yet I guess, so i have a back up but not the 
new thing.

I found this:
multix@grid:~$ cat /boot/grub/menu.lst_backup_by_grub2_prerm
timeout         5

title GNU/Hurd
root    (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s1

--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} 
--host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} 
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create) 
$(task-resume)
module          /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
boot

$(task-resume)
module          /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)

Is this enough?
