It appears to have eliminated an error message I would see when trying to boot Mac OS 10.0. The error message would say "Unable to find driver for platform: PowerMac2,1". 

A recent patch for QEMU 1.3.1 made it so that it no longer panics when booting. This means we are closer to booting Mac OS X on QEMU :)

I was able to successfully boot from my Debian CD without any problems after applying the patches.
