I get failures like this as well using -boot c, though -boot d works. What do the c and d stand for? I had assumed (presumably incorrectly) that c=CD and d=disk.
I should have commited the documentation :-) c = hard disk and d = CD-ROM (and someday a = floppy).
I got the KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-05-20 ISO to boot, though it fails early in the boot process saying that it can't find the knoppix partition. The lnx-bbc rescue CD (version 2.1) seemed to boot properly, but it segfaulted in the later stages of the boot process. I also tried a self-built OpenBSD 3.4 CD, though it complains relativelyearly in the boot process that it can't find /dev/console.
Do you try qemu-fast or qemu ? Can you record a log of the boot process (at least a screen shot) ?
