I have tried to install July 2020  version of Hurd on a real (Dual Core 3 Ghz) computer.

AHCI was not working (with a message Phy0? from memory).
So I change in the BIOS, AHCI to IDE.
Then the 500 GB disk was detected as:
 hd2: ST500DM002-1BD142, 131071 MB CHS=16709/255/63
 
 I booted a Puppy Linux on it, and in Gparted,
 CHS=60801/255/63

Please use the reportbug command rather than trying to fill the form by
hand, which is always error-prone.

That's because the IDE driver only supports LBA28. The AHCI driver does
support 2TB devices, see http://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/faq/2_gib_partition_limit/
