os-prober, grub2 and hurd-i386

Hello,

I've just tried the upgrade to grub2, and although os-prober find my
hurd partition, update-grub2 says

  GNU/Hurd is not yet supported by grub-mkconfig.

could someone work on it?

On #517369 i found this:

# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# hurd installation on /dev/hdb8.
menuentry "GNU/Hurd (on /dev/hdb8)" {
	set root=(hd1,8)
	multiboot /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd1s8
	module /hurd/ext2fs.static --readonly \
			--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) $(task-resume)'
	module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec '$(exec-task=task-create)'
}

But at the moment I never had Grub2 working with gnu/hurd :'(

I've submitted patch in various places to fix booting gnumach from
grub2.  The git version of gnumach should be bootable by grub 1.97
in all circumstances (even a lot of memory etc.). The current Debian
gnumach should be bootable if given less than 800MiB memory (else grub2
may put the modules where gnumach can't reach them).
