To show that this field is not specific to disk/VM images, how about
something along these lines:
When this field is set, produce a GNU/Hurd operating system. In that
case, @code{kernel} must also be set to the @code{gnumach}
package---the microkernel the Hurd runs on.
@quotation Warning
This feature is experimental and only supported for disk images.
