Using -M mac99,via=pmu already provides an usb bus and would attach mouse and keyboard to it by default. When using -M mac99 the cpu already defaults to the g4. You are trying to install Mac OS 9.0.4. There are some limitations with that particular Mac OS version as guest: -You need to use a version that includes Mac OS Rom version 5.6 or above. Mac OS 9.04 for the Cube contains a ROM that works. Others do too. -A bug in Qemu makes that no version of Mac OS 9.0.4 works with two usb devices attached. Use -M mac99 as machine model to present the mouse and keyboard as adb devices. I suggest you use the command line below to run an appropriate version of Mac OS 9.0.4: qemu-system-ppc \ -L qemu-screamer/pc-bios \ -M mac99 -m 512 \ -hda macos92.img \ -cdrom MacOS9_0_4.iso \ -boot d -g 1024x768x32 Mac OS 9.1 and 9.2 guests can be ran with -M mac99,via=pmu. It seems you are trying to run a sound enable build of qemu-system-ppc. Please make sure your qemu-system-ppc and and the openbios-ppc file in the pc-bios folder are both from the same sound enabled build. Best, Howard
