You can also record the noide option in /etc/default/grub's
GRUB_CMDLINE_GNUMACH and run update-grub, so it's put on all kernel
entries.

? it's not the Hurd that calls them so. Actually I don't understand why
in the text above you talk about using sd0: if you use rumpdisk you have
to change everything to wd0.
