First thing I would do, would be to set up a working RiscPC, with the basic !Boot (I've stuck mine in HostFS). The boot sequence can be downloaded from various places - I would start looking: RPCemu site, www.riscosopen.org (where you can also find RISC OS 5), and www.riscos.com.
To get the data from your old hard disc images, I'd fire up Arculator and extract the contents out (can't remember how to with Arculator - and I can't find a good Mac OS version).
Cheers,
Gerald.

If it can't find any ROM files in the rom directory, it should say that no ROM image is found, and ask you to point to the location of one (which it will then copy into the data directory). You should be able to change this location through File->Preferences, or by editing the plist file (you can point this to an empty folder if you wish).
