This Week, ILUGC meet was highly informative and demo based, on GNU/Hurd Installation, by Shakthi. Keep it up, you did a great job. I just love such informative sessions. Here are the steps

GNU/Hurd from CD, with grub installed to hard disk

1/ Use fdisk to recreate partition:
/dev/hdb1 fat32 7 GB
/dev/hdb2 swap 256 MB
/dev/hdb3 Linux 1 GB (hurd partition)
/dev/hdb4 Linux 30 GB

2/ Boot from K8 CD

3/ Select keyboard layout

4/ Activate swap

5/ Initialize Hurd partition

6/ Install base system

7/ Reboot into grub prompt

8/ At grub prompt,

/*
(to find, "find /boot/gnumach.gz")
root=(hd0,2)
*/

kernel (hd0,2)/boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd1s3 -s
module (hd0,2)/hurd/ext2fs.static
--multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line}
--host-priv-port=${host-port}
--device-master-port=${device-port}
--exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root}
$(task-create) $(task-resume)
module (hd0,2)/lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)
boot

12/ Run native-installer

13/ Reboot

14/ Enter Hurd, run native-installer again

15/ Reboot

16/ Remove -s in kernel entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst and boot

Enter GNU/Hurd system!
