How would I go about changing the CD-ROM to this location? I'm looking for a specific file or files to make this change.

Thank you sooo much for this information. With it was able to go further than before in the boot process! This day was definitely a step forward in making Mac OS X boot in QEMU. The Mac OS 10.2 cd stopped after the COLOR display text, but the darwin 8 cd was able to boot considerably further than before.
Before I would only see up to this in on the screen:
IOService:/GossamerPE/pci at 80000000/AppleGracklePCI/pci-ata at 4/CMD646Root/cdrom at 0
After using your command line suggestion, I see this in QEMU when booting Darwin 8 (core of Mac OS X):
IOService:/GossamerPE/pci at 80000000/AppleGracklePCI/mac-io at 3/Heathrow/ata-1 at 20000/HeathrowATA/ATADeviceNub at 0/IOATAPIProtocolTransport/IOSCSIPeripheralDevieNub/IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceType05/IODVDServices/IODVDBlockStorageDriver/QEMU QEMU DVD-ROM Media
A lot more than before!
This is what I see on a real Beige G3:
IOService:/GossamerPE/pci at 80000000/AppleGracklePCI/mac-io at 10/Heathrow/ide at 21000/HeathrowATA/ATADeviceNub at 0/ATAPIProtocolTransport/IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceNub/IOSCSIPeripheralDeviceType05/IODVDServices/IODVDBlockStorageDriver/HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GCA-4020B Media/IOCDPartitionScheme/Untitled 1 at 1/IOApplePartititionScheme/Mac_OS_X at 9
So what's next is making the IOCDPartitionScheme show up.
This path change definitely needs to be made to QEMU.
If anyone wants to help but don't have Mac OS X, you can download the free Darwin 8 cd image here: darwinppc-801.cdr.gz.
