This will eventually become an installation guide for the Debian crosshurd package (GNU/Hurd cross install only). However for the time being it will I am setting it up as a diet version of Hurd/InstalNotes, adapted for crosshurd.

## <a name="Reserving_partitions"> Reserving partitions </a>
You need a swap and root partition, much like any other UNIX system. Two things to remember:
1. Root partition <2.0 GiB
2. Root partition: mke2fs -o hurd
# mke2fs -o hurd /dev/DEVICE
## <a name="Bootstrapping"> Bootstrapping </a>
After having installed the Debian crosshurd package you need to mount your newly created Hurd partition.
mkdir /gnu
mount /dev/DEVICE /gnu
Now, simply run the crosshurd program and follow the onscreen directions. **Do** select the usr symlink.

## <a name="Rebooting"> Rebooting </a>
Before we reboot you must setup a Hurd entry in the menu.lst file of Grub. Do it like this and remember, **no trailing spaces**!
title GNU (kernel GNUmach 1.3)
root (hdX,Y)
kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hdXs(Y+1) -s
module /hurd/ext2fs.static \
--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)
The notation of Grub, and of the Hurd, can be somewhat bisarre on first sight. Consult the [[InstallNotes]] for a thorough explanation.
N.B. the '-s' on the kernel line, it is "single user mode", which you need for the first two reboots.
OK, reboot now.
## <a name="First_steps"> First steps </a>
Set TERM variable and run native-install script.
export TERM=mach
./native-install
At the end native-install wants you to reboot and run it again. Do so and remember to set the TERM variable as well.
After the second reboot and native-install run you can remove the '-s' in the kernel line above and boot GNU/Hurd as a normal user.
## <a name="Logging_in"> Logging in </a>
Finally, a complete bootstrapped GNU system.
Login as root, add swap partition to /etc/fstab (using nano), setup network and do the old Debian thing of dancing with dselect for a couple of hours.
