I did it too a few months ago. But I installed Hurd from the debian cds.
---8<---(part of my mail to bug-hurd@gnu.org on january/february)
I've installed Debian GNU/Hurd H2 on bochs (using only cd 1 for the
moment) !! (Last time, it was F2)
_ALL_ works : install, native_install, initial.sh and second.sh !!!
---8<---
I was not able to make X working (I suspect the vga bios of bochs) but
the improvements that have benn made make me think it could work today.
I tried to install Debian GNU/Hurd H4 a few weeks ago, but the system
froze while trying to run native_install. :(
I haven't tried it again (maybe I only was unlucky) but in a few days,
I'll get the Debian GNU/Hurd J1 cds, and I will try it again.

For these problems, maybe you should give more information about the
bochs and GNU releases you were running.

I have another suggestion: instead of using a tarball
(gnu-latest.tar.gz) of the system, we could try to work to create an
image of a hurd system from the debian cds... As I said, I've seen
native_install and the scripts in /cdrom/upgrade working. It would be
more understandable for users to have a debian-based image instead of a
developper's image (a developper's image is important too, but maybe not
for a debian package).

That's good !
There was yet such a guide from Alfred Szmidt:
