You're much better off using qemu. You can read about how to set up an instant development environment here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contributing.html#index4h2 Do not pass the "|-no-kvm-irqchip" |||option. Also the default *img file is only has space for about 2 GBs I think. You may have to expand the resulting img file, then expand the filesytem, if you eventually need more space. Also my command does not begin with "kvm". I actually use "qemu-system-i386", because kvm is not a command on my computer. You can resize a *.img file with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QEMU#Resizing_an_image You'll have to google how to resize an ext2 partition (what the hurd uses by default). Also, I ssh into my locally running Hurd box. In my opinion, Emacs running on my GNU/Linux box connecting to the Hurd via ssh, works better than using Emacs on the hurd. At least, that was the case, the last time I tried it. Note that I am not a hurd developer. Just an enthusiast.
