Does it happen the first time you boot it? In that case i guess you
can reproduce it by re-downloading the image.

But it didn't happen to me (and a lot others), could you try with
the latest version of bochs?

well, bochs emulation is not perfect. specialy when it comes
to hardware devices and bioses. but if you can't reproduce
it i doubt it can be helpful to the Hurd developers.
