Well, there have been a few recent qemu images around lately.
You might prefer
http://dept-info.labri.fr/~thibault/tmp/debian-hurd-17042010-qemu.img.tar.gz
which is less recent but has less things installed and thus boot faster.

Great!

Yes, it's a known glitch in kvm which doesn't happen on real hardware.

Yes, the idle time doesn't take reboots into account.

/dev/console is not the hurdish console, yes, it's just the mach
console. To start the hurdish console, you can for instance run this
from /dev/console:
console -d pc_kbd -d vga -c /dev/vcs

There is one IIRC, but I can't remember off-hand which precise package
to install and how to use it.

That may be just simpler.
