'qemu-system-ppc -M g3beige -bios 78F57389.ROM -serial stdio' drops into a ROM diagnostic menu and won't boot. I did get 'qemu-system-ppc -M mac99 ...' to boot into MacOS 9, by using OpenBIOS instead of Apple firmware. Unforunately, BootX is not compatible with this configuration, so it won't help. BootX is compatible with beige powermacs, but 'qemu-system-ppc -M g3beige' with OpenBIOS fails to boot MacOS 9 ("MacOS: unable to find an interrupt controller node"). OpenBIOS wouldn't boot a MacOS 8.1 CD-ROM either, but for different reasons: both mac99 and g3beige failed with "No valid state has been set by load or init-program".
