Debian 4.0 R6:
qemu-system-ppc64 -boot d -cdrom debian-40r6-powerpc-businesscard.iso
-M mac99 -usb -usbdevice keyboard -usbdevice mouse -cpu 970fx

Select 'install64'.

Gentoo 2008.0:
qemu-system-ppc64 -boot d -cdrom install-powerpc-minimal-2008.0.iso -M
mac99  -cpu 970fx -prom-env 'boot-device=cd:0,\boot\yaboot' -prom-env
'boot-args=conf=cd:0,\boot\yaboot.conf'

Select G5 (default).

Both above get to userspace, but they seem to hang soon.
