Re: yet more newbie questions

[Kenneth Stailey]

Thanks!  I made it to single-user mode under The Hurd.
I did get a large number of

hd0: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hd0: read_intr: status=0x10 { SectorIdNotFound }, LBAsect=95049239, sector=28

This pair of messages repeats a few times and then

ide0: reset: success

Then the whole sequence repeats again.
Finally it goes:

end_request: I/O error, dev 03:12, sector 28

Then it stops writing error messages and boots servers and gives me the shell
prompt.
