 * **IMPORTANT!** Remember when first booting into your freshly un-tarred distribution, you must pass the `-s` option to `/boot/gnumach.gz`. Failure to do so means that you won't get single-user mode.
-* **IMPORTANT2!** Add the --readonly flag to the file system server in your Grub menu.lst file. This is a work-around to get fsck working properly. Don't forget, everything must be on ONE line! <br />

+Where `hdX,Y` is the appropriate hard disk and partition number, in Grub format. `hdX,(Y+1)` is the GNUmach format - because Mach partitions start at 1, unlike Grub partitions that start on 0 (zero).

 * If you are following Neal's installation guide, he presents a sample `/etc/fstab`. When you first boot, your `/home` directory will _not_ be auto-mounted. You must set a passive translator on that node to access that partition. The correct syntax for this is: <br />`settrans -p /home /hurd/ext2fs /dev/hd2s2`
