   It is not usable yet.

When we spoke sometime ago you said the exact opposite.  Has something
changed in the GRUB 2 code base?

   We planned scripting support for GRUB 2.  What I had in mind was
   just a GRUB 2 script for the Hurd.  The script accepts the root
   device as argument and loads the right kernel and modules.

How does it know "the right kernel and modules"?  How do I change the
kernel to boot (changing the various module lines is often not needed,
compared to the kernel)?

Seems to me that Roland's modulelist command is far more flexible,
including the wonderful fact that one can use /boot/servers.boot for a
sub-hurd.

But then, you didn't explain clearly what this "loadhurd" thing would
do.
