It could be. I assume you're using the Japanese Mac OS ROM file as rom/rom.nw?
If possible, try installing a "normal" system (and maconlinux.org has a copy
of a "normal" Mac OS ROM file), maybe on another partition, and try booting
that.

I got xmms-cdread working here... how does it "not work"? Are you adding
/dev/cdrom to your playlist?

cdparanoia needs permissions to devices other than the normal cdrom. You could
either figure out what it needs (it has a -search and -verbose flags as I
recall) and grant it access, or just run it as root.
