So far so good...

   kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz root=hd0s1 -s
   module=/boot/gnumach.gz
   boot

That is wrong, and you really ought to 0) Write the following in a
menu.lst file, 1) read the Debian GNU/Hurd installation guide.

Here is what you should type (adjust the values for your
partition/drive):

kernel /boot/gnumach.gz root=device:hd2s1
module /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 /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create)

That is three lines, not five or more.
