Hi,

There is nothing wrong with your command line. I just tested it.
Perhaps your iso is faulty.
The Mac_OS_X_Leopard_10.5.6.iso from the macintoshgarden should work.

EDIT: the leopard iso referred to will also not work.

Best,

I can also confirm that the Mac_OS_X_Leopard_10.5.6.iso from the macintoshgarden is NOT woking.

I have tested it with QEMU emulator version 4.1.0 (v4.1.0-11789-g013a2ecf4f-dirty)
