This is a current limitation of qemu (at least). You could try booting on real hardware that is known to work with f8 and livecd-iso-to-disk. Also, what you probably meant to do (if it would have worked, which it won't), is '-hda /dev/sdd', not '-hda /dev/sdd1'.
I also really wanted to be able to test liveusb under qemu. I vaguely recall my googling/qemu-devel list searching yielded the fact that it might have even worked on an older version, but has regressed.
You might try googling for the issue, and then perhaps posing the question on qemu-devel as to why it doesn't work.
Or, a better way to start this response would have been - did you try the same thing with an f8 liveusb and did it work? Probably you should try that before asking qemu-devel, but I'm pretty sure my recollection of the situation was accurate.

It should work -- I do it relatively often to test things out

cool. It has definitely been months since I last tried, so presumably they fixed the bug I was running into. Of course, an even better improvement would be <censored due to conflict of interest> :)

Jeremy thanks for your help. I will be away for the next few days. As soon as I return I will try your suggestions.

Douglas thanks for your prompt replay. I just finished testing the stick in the box and it works. As you indicated this must be a "qemu" limitation which I am not going to pursue. I am more interested in F-9.

As dmc says, you'll want to use -hda /dev/sdd but the bigger problem is your last line. The user you're running as can't access X to actually do the display. So you'll either need to give it access via xauth or use -vnc and connect via vnc
