I just compiled the v6 set applied to current master on my G5, Ubuntu 16.
command line:
./qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot c m 512 -M mac99,via=pmu \
-netdev user,id=net1 -device sungem,netdev=net1 \
-drive file=10.3.img,format=raw,media=disk \

With no specific cpu set, Mac OS 9.2 hard disk image and 9.2 iso do not get
to the desktop, they just hang while still in the openbios window. They
need -cpu G4 on the command line to get to the desktop.

OSX 10.3 installed image boots to desktop.
OSX 10.3 iso boots to installer
OSX 10.4 installed image boots to desktop.
OSX 10.4 iso boot to installer
OSX 10.5 installed image boots to desktop.
OSX 10.5 iso boots to installer

So there seems to be a difference between hosts: If ran on a G4 host there
is no need to add -cpu G4 to run Mac OS 9.x, while there is when ran on a
G5 host.

Best,
Howard
