Now I have tested this a bit more. I found a small problem with
fshelp and the command line parser when using GNU/Hurd. Because
everything can be used as multiboot argument I disabled the argument
parser for this command. I've also disabled the code that replace
environment variables because GNU/Hurd uses variables with the same
syntax in its bootscripts and it conflicts. :/
I will wait a bit longer with applying this patch so you can comment
on these latest changes if you want to.
As a bonus, the shellscript I use to create a GRUB 2 bootfloppy. I
hope it is as useful to you as it was to me. Feel free to modify it
so it can be included with GRUB 2 to produce floppy/hd images. As you
can see I suck at shellscripting and I am not able to produce
something useful in a reasonable time.
I can upload a GRUB 2 floppy somewhere including a grub.cfg and GRUB 2
patched with this patch so people can test GRUB 2. Please tell me if
you want that and I will do so.
Thanks,
Marco

The new patch:
2004-09-13 Marco Gerards <address@hidden>
Add `linux.mod' and `multiboot.mod' so linux and multiboot kernels
can be loaded from normal mode.
* conf/i386-pc.mk (pkgdata_MODULES): Add `linux.mod' and
`multiboot.mod'.
(linux_mod_SOURCES, linux_mod_CFLAGS, multiboot_mod_SOURCES)
(multiboot_mod_CFLAGS): New variables.
* loader/i386/pc/linux_normal.c: New file.
* loader/i386/pc/multiboot_normal.c: Likewise.
* loader/i386/pc/linux.c (grub_rescue_cmd_initrd): Don't use the
attribute `unused'.
* fs/ext2.c (grub_ext2_iterate_dir): Fix typos in inode type. Use
`fdiro' to read the mode information from instead of `diro'.
* fs/fshelp.c (grub_fshelp_find_file): Set type to foundtype after
looking up a symlink.
* include/grub/normal.h (GRUB_COMMAND_FLAG_NO_ARG_PARSE): New
macro.
* normal/command.c (grub_command_execute): Don't parse the
arguments when `GRUB_COMMAND_FLAG_NO_ARG_PARSE' is set in the
flags of the command.
* grub/grub2/kern/misc.c (grub_split_cmdline): Disable envvar
parsing code because it conflicts with multiboot.
* normal/menu.c (grub_menu_run): Fix typo.
