+#### Trying out rumpdisk
+
+[[Rump kernels|hurd/rump]] provide new modern drivers for the Hurd.
+We refer to rumpdisk as a rump kernel that provides drivers for modern
+hard drives, SSDs, etc. The Rump kernels' integration into the Hurd
+are still somewhat experimental, but they seem to work fairly well on
+bleeding edge Debian.
+
+Once you have your latest qemu Debian GNU/Hurd image running, then you
+can try the rumpdisk (be sure to pass "-m 2GB" or more). First,
+upgrade to the bleeding edge Debian GNU/Hurd:
+
+ # apt-get update
+ # apt-get dist-upgrade
+
+Now test to see if the rump kernel works before you make the change
+permanent. Manually tweak your /boot/grub/grub.cfg like so:
+
+ # multiboot /boot/gnumach-1.8-486.gz root=part:2:device:hd0 console=com0
+ multiboot /boot/gnumach-1.8-486.gz root=part:2:device:wd0 console=com0 noide
+
+and your /etc/fstab
+
+ #/dev/hd0s2 / ext2 defaults 0 1
+ /dev/wd0s2 / ext2 defaults 0 1
+ #/dev/hd0s1 none swap sw 0 0
+ /dev/wd0s1 none swap sw 0 0
+ #/dev/hd2 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 noauto 0 0
+ /dev/wd2 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 noauto 0 0
+
+Now you can poweroff your machine, reboot, and start using the
+rumpdisk! You can make these changes permanent by tweaking
+/etc/default/grub and telling it to use rumpdisk:
+
+ GRUB_CMDLINE_GNUMACH="noide"
+
+Then update your grub:
+
+ # update-grub
+
+Check that "noide" does appear in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
