I was never able to get the CD Netinst ISO to work properly. Ditto for the
pre-created images.
This install ISO is the only one that works for me:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/latest/hurd-i386/dvd.iso
I then create the QEMU image with <code>qemu-img create hurd.img 15G</code>.
Install script:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
printf -v macaddr "52:54:%02x:%02x:%02x:%02x" $(( $RANDOM & 0xff)) $((
$RANDOM & 0xff )) $(( $RANDOM & 0xff)) $(( $RANDOM & 0xff ))
qemu-system-x86_64 -m 3G \
-enable-kvm -drive cache=writeback,file=hurd.img \
-vga vmware -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 \
-net nic,macaddr="$macaddr" \
-net user,hostfwd=tcp::5555-:22 \
-boot order=ad,menu=on \
-cdrom dvd.iso
</code>
The script I run after installation is identical to this except with the bottom
`cdrom' line removed.
To ssh:
ssh username@localhost -p 5555
Also, make sure you replace whatever is in /etc/apt/sources.list with:
<code>
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unstable main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-ports unreleased main
</code>
Enjoy!
