I did not.. however what i will try later tonight is to edit mtab and 
let the system boot without /home and see if it completes boot.
Things should have improved, but my past year-long experience in Hurd is 
to have separate partitions: I intend to do a lot of compiling, incase 
of crash, I'll corrupt my home more likely than the rest, this is safer.

Also, if I can fix this installation, I'd prefer.. it took me two days 
to reinstall hurd: not continuously attented, but the operation was 
quite slow.. CD-ROM and HDD seem to be quite slow in access, especially 
the former.

I did install ONLY from the CD using the minimal set. I did not enable 
the network stuff at all!
