This is lacking a bit of detail ... What did you try and what failed?
Building a qemux86-64 (or qemux86) image and running it should certainly
work ("runqemu qemux86-64").

The hddimg is both an installer and a live image: in other words if you
build e.g. a x86-64 core-image-sato you can dd it to a USB disk and boot a
typical laptop from USB without installing anything on hard drive.
