+# <a name="Recipes_for_bootable_GNU_Mach_Hu"> </a> Recipes for bootable GNU Mach/Hurd Live CD
+
+## <a name="Greg_s_recipe"> Greg's recipe </a>
+
+In my attempts to get a bootable CD for the Hurd here's the recipe I followed, your's will be similar. I needed a grub-0.92, with a patch from <http://alpha.polynum.org/misc/>, and version 1.16 of mkbimage (I don't exactly remember where I got that from).
+
+You can grab a copy of it at <http://sleepingsquirrel.org/hurd/hurdcd.iso.gz>, which is a gzipped bootable \*.iso with the copy of the patched grub and the version of mkbimage I used. Here's the recipe I followed (under linux).
+
+       # mkdir ./2.88floppy
+       # mkdir ./isodir
+       # cp grub/* 2.88floppy/boot/grub/
+       # cp grub/* isodir/boot/grub/
+       # cd 2.88floppy
+       # tar -cf ../floppyimg.tar *
+       # cd ..
+       # mkbimage -f floppyimg.tar -t 2.88
+       # cp 2.88.image isodir/
+       # mkisofs -r -b 2.88.image -c boot.catalog -o hurdcd.iso isodir/
+       # cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -data hurdcd.iso
+
+That was the recipe for using a floppy image. If you use the `-t hd` switch of `mkbimage`, you'll get an ext2fs El-Torito HD emulation image that can be any size (I've got one here 300+ MB). You can then use `root (hd0,0)` in Grub to boot something. Also, invoking `mkbimage` with no parameters will give you some additional help messages.
