Just for fun I tried running an old MacOS9 version inside your docker image. I think I downloaded the Mac_OS_9.2.2_Universal_Install.iso somewhere from macos9lives.com .

I also had to add ppc support for qemu to the Dockerfile:

RUN sudo pacman -S --noconfirm qemu-arch-extra

And then I could start the MacOS9 installer:

qemu-system-ppc -L qemu-screamer/pc-bios -cpu "g4" -M mac99,via=pmu -m 512 -hda /data/macos9/macos92.img -cdrom "/data/macos9/Mac_OS_9.2.2_Universal_Install.iso" -boot d -g 1024x768x32
