Confirm.

Instruction provides using `sudo ubuntu-vm-builder kvm hardy` but Ubuntu repository not provides Ubuntu Hardy long time ago.

VMBuilder declare that using new suites: dapper, gutsy, hardy, intrepid, jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick, natty, oneiric, precise, quantal, raring, saucy, trusty, utopic, vivid, wily and xenial.
But suites dapper, gutsy, hardy, intrepid, jaunty, karmic, lucid, maverick, natty and oneiric not exists in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/.

If you want to use old versions Ubuntu Linux, then you must specify repository URL that provides required suite. For example:

ubuntu-vm-builder kvm hardy \
                  ...
                  --mirror http://archive.localubuntumirror.net/ubuntu
                  ...
