can't get Mac OS X Developer Preview 3 to Boot

Hi, this is my first post on the site, and I'm a beginner to using QEMU. I have managed to get Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar working a few days ago but now I want to try Mac OS X DP3.

I made a 2 GB img and loaded Jaguar's iso to use Disk Utility to erase the drive.

I then used this exact command in Terminal to try boot the Installer for DP3:

qemu-system-ppc -L pc-bios -boot d -m 512 -M g3beige -cpu g3 -prom-env "boot-device=cd:9,\\:tbxi" -prom-env "boot-args=-v" -prom-env "vga-ndrv?=true" -drive file=/Users/imac/Downloads/Apple\ Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.0\ \(\'\'Kodiak\'\'\ 10.0\ Developer\ Preview\ 3\)/MacOSX_developer_preview_3.iso,format=raw,media=cdrom -drive file=macosxdp3.img,format=raw,media=disk -netdev user,id=network01 -device sungem,netdev=network01

It then opens the QEMU windows and and displays this message:

Welcome to OpenBIOS v1.1 built on Nov 1 2021 20:36
Trying cd:9,\:tbxi...
No valid state has been set by load or init-program
0 >

For extra reference I downloaded the iso off of WinWorld.

Any help is appreciated,
