I decided to try burning an image from Index of
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/powerpc/powerpc/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/
And here are the following errors:
1.) The usb image doesn't boot. From following Whitehorn and others on
the FreeBSD PowerPC mailing list, one needs to have the bootloader
dd'ed to a HFS formatted partition of 1MB.
A README with basic instructions and/or references to forum and
mailing list posts needs to be available for all non i386/amd64
systems.
2) The boot-only and disc-1 images stop at
sc0: Unknown <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300>
Booting with -s or -v or a combination does nothing.
