redraw_interval_msec = 40

key_compose_dialog = "F11"
key_change_cd_0 = "none"
key_toggle_mouse_grab = "F12"
key_toggle_full_screen = "Alt+Return"

prom_bootmethod = "select"

#prom_bootmethod = "auto"
#prom_loadfile = "test/yaboot"
#prom_env_bootpath = "disk"

#prom_env_bootargs = ""
#prom_env_machargs = "-v"

prom_driver_graphic = "video.x"

##
## PCI IDE Config
##
## Drive type will be set according to file extension:
## .img: Harddisk (filesize must be multiple of 516096)
## .iso: CD-Rom
## Or you can override this by specifying the type via
## pci_ide0_master_type / pci_ide0_slave_type
##
## Valid drive types are:
## hd: A hdd image should be specified
## e.g. "test/imgs/linux.img"
## cdrom: A cdrom image should be specified
## For Linux or BeOS a cdrom device can be specified as well
## e.g. "/dev/cdrom"
## nativecdrom: Platform dependant
## Win (SPTI): drive letter, e.g. "d:\"
## Win (ASPI): SCSI host adapter,target,lun e.g. "2,0,1"
## BeOS (ATAPI): device path, e.g. "/dev/disk/ide/atapi/0/master/0/raw"

You CD image needs to be correct.
maybe your image file is not uncompressed? the file name seems a bit wierd.

Try with
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"

And how do you created "Mac OS X Install Disc 1.dmg.iso"?
