Sigbjorn,
Here's my personal, just-my-opion, advice.

I am about to try an installation og the gnu-hurd with your mach mikro-kernel.
In this respect I ask for the following:
Which way do You recommend this to be done?
1. Through the base tar.ball described in
http://web.walfield.org/papers/hurd-installation-guide/english?
In case: where do I find the floppy-image for the grub-boot described
at ...walfield...to be downloaded from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub
Here are several tar.gz;which one is the floppy-image.
2. Through the debian/gnu/hurd CD.iso image of approx.650MB?
I have downloaded this one from the ftp://gnu.org/pub/iso/hurd-J1
and is about to burn a CD of it.
For your first GNU/Hurd installation, the Debian CD's are easier, since
they do a lot of the work for you. Also, if you use the CDs, then you've
got all the apps you'll need right there, which is nice if you have any
problems getting the network up or anything. :-)
I have on my machines Debian-Gnu-Linux and Suse7.3-gnu-linux.
You'll save yourself a lot of headache if you make your Debian box
dual-boot between GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd.
HIRD..(of unix replacing daemons) is a Norwegian word,with 2
applications, by the way.I will come back to this only if you are interested.
Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm interested.
