I just committed a stage-1 boot loader to -CURRENT that generates a 
bootable HFS filesystem in the style of our other platforms (e.g. it 
will read the stage-3 loader from UFS).

To use it:
  - update your source tree
  - cd /sys/boot/powerpc/boot1.chrp
  - make && make install
  - dd if=/boot/boot1.hfs of=/dev/bootstrap_partition

OF should then find everything and load it by itself -- FreeBSD should 
even show up in the firmware boot menu.
