It was with qemu-system-ppc. Where does it hang at for you? 

This is the command options I used:  ./qemu-system-ppc -cdrom 
<path>/darwinppc.iso -boot d

I don't use the -M mac99 option. When I did, it hung at this line: "using 327 
buffer headers and 327 cluster IO buffer headers". 

Did you see "AppleMacRiscPCI: bad range 2(80000000:01000000)"? I think this 
problem should be corrected. 

Did you see this at the bottom of the window: "The following devices are 
available for installation:"? If you did, then it is just waiting for you to 
enter a number. If you see nothing below that text, it means you didn't include 
a hard drive image. Including a hard drive image with QEMU via the -hdd option 
will allow you to install Darwin. 

It only took 30 seconds for the booting to finish for me.
