One possibility is holding down the Shift key during Startup to avoid loading extensions that might cause boot-up to fail. Another is to use the disk image from InfiniteMac to get it booting. We're still trying to fix up booting, so it may take a while.

DingusPPC mostly understands raw image formats. That said, I'll look into the log myself to see what causes the crash.

what the hdd image format are dingus understood?

The HDD image is a raw disk image. It should have an Apple Partition Map with Mac OS 9 Drivers installed.

I use Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard in an Intel Mac virtual machine to create disk images with the following commands:

mkdir -p ~/Disks
hdiutil create -size 1g -layout "UNIVERSAL HD" -fs HFS -volname "MacOS9.2.2" ~"/Disks/MacOS 9.2.2.dmg"
for thediskimg in \
~"/Disks/MacOS922.dmg" \
; do
	echo "$thediskimg"
	dd if="$thediskimg" bs=1 skip=0x10 count=34 2> /dev/null | xxd -p -c 34
	xxd -p -r <<< '0004 0000 0040 0017 0001 0000 0078 0024 ffff 0000 00b0 0015 0701 0000 00e8 0022 f8ff' | \
		dd if=/dev/stdin of="$thediskimg" oseek=0x10 bs=1 conv=notrunc 2> /dev/null
	dd if="$thediskimg" bs=1 skip=0x10 count=34 2> /dev/null | xxd -p -c 34
done

The second command fixes the driver map.
The script at https://gist.github.com/joevt/a99e3af71343d8242e0078ab4af39b6c can be used to dump the partition info of a disk. It will show the Apple Partition Map, the driver map, the driver partitions, and the other partitions.
