Either one is incorrect.
GRUB counts partition from 0, GNU Mach from 1.
So it is either (hd0,3) and root=hd0s4 (/dev/hda4 in linux)
or (hd0,4) and root=hd0s5 (/dev/hda5 in linux)
Because this is a FAQ, it is mentioned in the FAQ at
www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-faq
and in the easy guide. (But don't worry, it IS confusing, and GRUB needs to
be "fixed" by having and alternate input format. I hope Gordon does this,
right Gord?)

With a recent GRIB, either way is fine.
