Hurd refuses to boot

[Patrick Stetter]

I used crosshurd to set up hurd on my machine.  Since the mirrors
crosshurd used were down I downloaded a base hurd system from here
http://ftp.debian-ports.org/debian/base/ as specified by
http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install.  I extracted it and set
up grub to boot from it with these commands:

title GNU Hurd - Single User
root (hd1,6)
kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd1s0 -s
module /hurd/ext2fs.static --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)
module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)

The boot looks promising at first, but hangs with the line ed:
/lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec.  I'm not sure if it's something wrong on my
end or if my hardware is not yet supported by the Hurd.  Should it be
the latter, here's a print of lspci
