Mac OS is a computer operating system developed by Apple.This is a operating system with beautiful interface, however, to own a the computer of Apple with this operating system, you need to use a lot of money, normally with the double price than that of common computers using Windows operating system.Fortunately, you can experience the Mac OS right on your computer by installing a Mac OS. The MacOS9 application contains a standard US-English Mac OS 9 installation, without features that can't be used in this system, such as file-sharing. It also includes a large number of standard Mac OS applications, plus some Control Panels, Extensions, Scripting Additions, and a gray desktop image that you can easily change if you prefer. Altough, there is a newer version of Mac OS 9.2.2 universal boot disk compiled in 2013 that is supposed to support most G3 and G4 models, it really doesn't boot a lot of them, while this 2002 one does. See also: Mac OS 9.2.2 'boot kit' for booting your G3 or G4 from an USB stick. Download Mac OS 9.2.2 Universal (2002 edition) for Mac. Mac OS 9.0.4 is the last version to boot successfully in SheepShaver. For G4 AGP install, it has the special build of Mac OS specifically designed for the G4 AGP Graphics and will not boot in other G4 models. To run on Mac OS 9.0.4 on QEMU, you need Mac OS ROM v5.2.1 (which can be found from PM G4 Cube CD-ROM).

Mac OS 9.0.4 is the last version to boot successfully in SheepShaver. For G4 AGP install, it has the special build of Mac OS specifically designed for the G4 AGP Graphics and will not boot in other G4 models.
To run on Mac OS 9.0.4 on QEMU, you need Mac OS ROM v5.2.1 (which can be found from PM G4 Cube CD-ROM).
If you’re a Mac user like me, who uses VirtualBox to run guest / virtual Operating Systems within OS X, you will most likely encounter errors with VirtualBox under Mavericks, specifically if you upgrade to OS 10.9 from a pre-existing OS X install where VirtualBox was already installed.
These issues will include anything relating to “Kernel Extension” errors when launching the VirtualBox application or “Kernel Driver Not Installed” errors when launching a Virtual Machine.
If this happens:
1. (Re)Download and (re)install the latest version of VirtualBox for OS X.
Run Mac Os Virtualbox
2. (Re)Download (re)install the respective Extension Pack.
3. In a shell (Terminal), cd /Library/Extensions
and sudo rm -rf VBox*.kext
4. Reboot
This should solve all of your issues. Step 3 above is important because it appears that those Kernel Extension files are for older versions of VirtualBox (pre-4.3) that are not cleaned up by a re-install of VirtualBox, and will cause issues with 4.3 (which is the latest version of VirtualBox at the time of this writing).
While you’re at it, you may as well reinstall the Guest Additions in your respective VMs after you fix your VirtualBox install.
