I added some more tweaks here Samuel. I think I finally got decent guide that shows people how to try out rumpdisk. * community/gsoc/project_ideas/driver_glue_code.mdwn: mention that Damien implemented rumpdisk & rumpusbdisk. * hurd/rump.mdwn: added links to other pages. * hurd/rump/rumpdisk.mdwn: new file * hurd/rump/rumpusbdisk.mdwn: new file * hurd/rump/rumpsound.mdwn: new file * hurd/rump/rumpnet.mdwn: new file * hurd/rump/rumpfs.mdwn: new file. * hurd/documentation.mdwn: add links to dde and rump * faq/sata_disk_drives.mdwn: mention rumpdisk.

If you +successfully installed the Hurd in real hardware, via toggling the +"compatibility" mode in your BIOS, then the Hurd is probably using old +Linux drivers to access your hard drive/SSD. Even more problematic, +those drivers are baked into the GNU Mach kernel! With rumpdisk, you +can use SSDs on the Hurd and enjoy a max partition size of [[2 +TiB|faq/2_gib_partition_limit]]! + +If you want to test if the Hurd can boot with your SSD, change any +occurence of `hdN` in `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` to `wdN`, where `N` is a +number, and add the `noide` option on the `multiboot` line, +(which disables the old Linux disk drivers). Also change any occurence +of `hdN` in your `/etc/fstab` to `wdN`. + + /boot/grub/grub.cfg + + # 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 + + /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 + +Then reboot your machine.
