Correct, setting boota-device makes it go further. Not booting still.
Considering AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS use real PowerPC devices maybe it's better to create a qemu machine for them... I know MorphOS uses SmartFirmware that is basically, OpenFirmware.

Hi all,
I've been asked by Mark to report my testings here.
Tested with qemu-for-ppc-2.8 commit 8b0262d0bcb7c697f2db8d6cd731cb478937902a.
Command line: qemu-system-ppc -M mac99 -m 256 -prom-env 'boot-args=-v' -bios foo/openbios-qemu-vga.elf -boot d -prom-env 'auto-boot?=false' -hda foo.qc2 -cdrom AmigaOS\ 4.0\ (Hacked\ for\ Mac\ Mini).iso -nographic

According to this forum thread: http://www.amiga.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-33796.html you may need to manually set boota-device to your boot device before trying to boot it.
But AFAIK this iso was an abandoned hack that is only supposed to sort of work on a specific Mac mini (1.5GHz G4 with 64MB Radeon Video) so not likely to do anything remotely usable on current QEMU so I would not spend too much time with it. Even on the mini it was made for it had no network, USB and other problems were mentioned in posts I've seen so I'd expect it to be problematic.
Also the MorphOS has some problems. It can be booted but it has no drivers for any QEMU emulated graphics (or vice versa) so you won't see anything even when it boots. Also versions above 3.7 has bugs that will prevent it from booting and even when it does boot it's very slow. I'll give that another try when new MorphOS and QEMU versions will be available to see if anything has improved.
