Even though it is customarily used *for* booting GNU/Hurd systems, [[GRUB]],
specifically GRUB legacy (which is still in wide-spread use, despite that
rather depricative nickname), has never been ported to be installable when
attempted to be installed *from* GNU/Hurd systems:
# grub-install \(hd0\)
df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted filesystems
df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted filesystems
Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
There is a patch, [[grub-install.patch]], to fix that.
`grub-install`, however, still fails while invoking `grub`:
# grub-install \(hd0\)
The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
# grub
[...]
grub> dump (hd0,0)/boot/grub/stage1 /tmp/grub_stage1
Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
The successor, [[GRUB2]], also needs to be ported.
