You want to take the "-s" out in the mach args section - other wise it's only booting into singler user mode (command prompt).

pci_ide0_master_installed = 1 
pci_ide0_master_image = "harddisk.img" 
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd" 
In my config file the _type="hd" is commented out.
Not only that but your harddisk.img file resides where? Might wanna pinpoint that for PearPC (it's a program anywho not a psychic) ALSO did you go back through the configuration and change the Partition from 3 to 2?
