Briefly, a @dfn{boot loader} is the first software program that runs when
a computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring
control to an operating system @dfn{kernel} software (such as the Linux
or GNU Hurd kernel). The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the
operating system (e.g. a GNU system).

@item GRUB does not recognize my GNU/Hurd partition.
I don't know why, but the authors of FDISK programs have assigned the
partition type @samp{0x63} to GNU Hurd incorrectly. So use @samp{0x83}
if the partition contains ext2fs filesystem, and use @samp{0xA5} if the
partition contains ffs filesystem, whether the partition owner is Hurd
or not. We will use @samp{0x63} for GNU Hurd filesystem that has not
been implemented yet.
