nothing special about it. But do not forget that you have to specify a
root partition to the kernel.
FIXME: this section is incomplete.
@enumerate
@item
Run the command @command{boot} (@pxref{boot}).
Set GRUB's root device to the same drive as GNU/Hurd's. The command
@code{search --file --set /boot/gnumach.gz} or similar may help you
(@pxref{search}).
@item
Load the kernel and the modules, like this:
@example
@group
grub> @kbd{multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd0s1}
grub> @kbd{module /hurd/ext2fs.static ext2fs --readonly \
--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)' '$(task-resume)'}
grub> @kbd{module /lib/ld.so.1 exec /hurd/exec '$(exec-task=task-create)'}
@end group
@end example
@item
Finally, run the command @command{boot} (@pxref{boot}).
