Goodnight all !

-cpu G3 ^
-m 512 ^
-M mac99,via=cuda ^
-display sdl ^
-boot d ^
-drive file=CDROM.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom ^

Unfortunately I got an error message on launch:

That indicates that no boot ROM could be found on CDROM.iso.
Are you sure the image is bootable?

Hello yes I'm sure because it's the same ISO I used with SheepShaver with which I was able to install System 9.0.4.

That will not work. Qemu and SheepShaver are mutually exclusive regarding mac os 9.0.4 Qemu needs a newer rom file as found on e.g. the 9.0.4 installation cd for the Cube.

Hello I installed Mac OS 9.2.1 & it works with Qemu but it's extremely slow... much slower than with SheepShaver !
