It worked fine for me, I am using the current debian package of
gnumach. If you compile your own one, you must make sure that you
enable the right network adapter at configure time (should be ne2k).
You should use the gnumach-1-branch in CVS if you want to compile your
own one. Instructions are in the various README's. It's probably
best to just build the deb if you know how that works.
BTW, I am using bochs 2.0.2, 2.1 didn't work for me (cp, perl were
broken). Bochs is very slow, so slow that I didn't do extensive
stability tests.
I tried qemu a bit more, and found it to be quite unstable. Too
unstable to compile anything within the emulated Hurd system.
Thanks,
