-    <matlea01> I was just wondering - once gnumach is compiled and I have the
-      gnumach elf, is that bootable? I.e. can I use something like
-      "qemu-system-i386 -kernel gnumach"?
-    <kilobug> matlea01: you need something with multiboot support (like grub)
-      to provide the various bootstrap modules to the kernel
-    <matlea01> Ah, I see

     <nalaginrut> you may use gdb for that
     <nalaginrut> for bochs, you don't have to use external debugger
     <congzhang> thanks for explain
-    <congzhang> does anyone succeed boot hurd with qemu multiboot boot
-      function?
-    <congzhang> with -kernel and -initrd command line parameter
-    <nalaginrut> I boot it with grub, in qemu, it's fine. Then I moved to
-      physical machine
-    <congzhang> boot with grub work for me too
-    <congzhang> I want to know whether it is possible to boot from qemu
-      directly
-    <congzhang> qemu can directly load kernel and hurd module for linux
-    <congzhang> nalaginrut: can you help to test whether hurd-console service
-      start will cause hurd black death?
-    <nalaginrut> I know qemu can boot Linux without MBR, but I don't know if
-      it's true for Hurd too
-    <nalaginrut> congzhang:  I'm busy for other works now ;-)
-    <congzhang> ok, thks:)
-    <youpi> qemu's multiboot options don't seem to allow providing
-      ext2fs.static and ld.so, so I don't think it's possible
-    <congzhang> I try to do this, because hurd hurd-console cause system to
-      death very high frequency
-    <youpi> (because qemu doesn't implement all of multiboot)
-    <congzhang> qemu help show that's possible, -initrd support multi module
-      and parameter
-    <congzhang> en, I will check with them later
-    <youpi> how do you pass parameters to modules?
-    <youpi> ah, right, it's after the file name
-    <youpi> well, then simply try to pass the kernel, and the two modules
-    <youpi> with the same option as in the grub config templates
-    <youpi> it's fortunate that neither ext2fs nor exec need a comma on their
-      command line...
