I assume your host system is Debian GNU/Linux. You'll want to install
the VM, which basicvally is is package qemu-kvm. You'll want to check
that there is kvm support in your kernel.

I basically used the install instructions at
http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/installer/cdimage/README.txt

But creating a bigger image and giving the vm guest more memory and
using cache to speed it up and using a port redirect for ssh. I also had
to choose English/US at the start of the installation, since it crashed
for me later in the installation when using German/Germany.

I use the following line to start the vm:

kvm -m 2G -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -drive
file=hurd-raw.qemu,cache=writeback

and during installation the following (some paramters for the install cd
added):

kvm -m 2G -net nic,model=ne2k_pci -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -cdrom
cd-1.iso -boot d -drive file=hurd-raw.qemu,cache=writeback

Maybe. There is some annoying slowness of the regression testing.
something in theretakes a long time without using the CPU much. I thus
use -j 8 to speed up regression testing on Hurd.
