Which version of mig are you using?

I'd advise using the package from Debian.

Mach doesn't really do anything useful alone.  You'd better rather
use our Debian disk image
http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/debian-hurd.img.tar.gz or 
installation

Pendrive are currently not supported.  You'd better try it in qemu or
virtualbox.
