You may have a "Setup Assistant" appear. You can go through and set everything up or close it, it doesn't matter much, though it will help you set up some basic network functions like shared folders and the like, so I recommend it. It's a very simple wizard.
 
===Sound=Software==
Now that we have our system set up, we'll probably want to install some software. Fortunately, a lot of it was preserved thanks to the efforts of [https://macintoshgarden.org/ Macintosh Garden], [https://www.macintoshrepository.org/ Macintosh Repository], and the Internet Archive. Pretty much every major software for OS 9 is on Macintosh Garden and Repository, so I recommend checking those ones out first. Some convenient and interesting software is listed below.

==Sound support==
Unfortunately, the stock QEMU does not come with proper sound drivers for Mac OS 9, so we'll need to build a fork of QEMU that adds these sound card drivers. This section will be technically advanced and is only recommended for more experienced users. The instructions change depending on your OS.
 
 
Afterwards, you'll find the proper <code>qemu-system-ppc</code> in the <code>build/</code> folder.
