How to run guix hurd image

General
1

I know there is a hurd image for guix at

It is qcow2 file for qemu. However, I could not find the instruction to run it so I need your advice.

With kvm/qemu I would guess as the hardware compatibility of hurd isn’t there yet to play with it outside of a VM.

Sure if you have a exotic hardware like a nearly 20 year old ThinkPad laying around :wink:

That’s an excellent writing.
I am just talking about runing the qcow2 image in 'qemu. I found the document:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
   -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci \
   -enable-kvm -m 2048 \
   -device virtio-blk,drive=myhd \
   -drive if=none,file=guix-system-vm-image-1.4.0.x86_64-linux.qcow2,id=myhd
