Cannot ssh to the VM on Fedora

Hi,

I am using Fedora and ran:

    $ qemu-kvm -m 2G -drive file=$(echo debian-hurd*.img),cache=writeback
-net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp:127.0.0.1:2222-:22

(as in the hurd-install doc)

Waited for the VM to boot, logged in, and then from the host:

    $ ssh -p 2222 root@localhost

And I am getting a password prompt even though root does not have a
password.

Is there a step I’m missing?

I tried to `systemctl start ssh` in the VM but the `systemctl` command does
not exist.

Best,
Osama
