hmmm. It sounds like you should contribute to the hurd website!

I don't see that URL on https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/running/qemu.html why don't you try getting the latest debian-hurd image available via this command: $ wget http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz > > Samuel seems to only have a Hurd repo in his directory now.

Again this should be fixed on the website. You can do it! Send your patches to the bug-hurd mailing list. > > > AYJ
