Thanks, this was an important hint. I'm getting in fact the same iff I
choose the right qemu binary. I was using qemu-launcher, which doesn't
offer those options (d'oh, I get to try a gui tool *once* in a long time
and it's of no use..).
$ qemu-system-ppc -M \?

Using -M prep shows some text, which said it couldn't read/understand
the disk format, so I realized that it probably wants a partition table.
So I've created a sparse file big enough (named lombipseudodisk) and run
"parted lombipseudodisk" on it,
(parted) mklabel mac
(parted) print free
Disk /mnt/sda14/tmp/lombipseudodisk: 2147MB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

(parted) cp lombi-hda10 1 2

Hm. Wondering what it is still missing, some of those strange partitions
with unknown binary content ("drivers"?) on them which Mac disks usually
carry? Sadly I can't get at my original disk since it is (or at least
seems to be) broken (and on top of that I don't have an adapter for
those laptop disks).
