Powerpc based FreeBSD Compilation

[Bridger Dyson-Smith]

I'm not an expert by any stretch, but you should tell the list the
following:
a) which IMG are you working with; e.g. one of the 9.1 candidates, or
something earlier?
b) tell us more about your hardware; i.e. which G4 laptop?
c) at what point does the boot process fail? What error messages do you see?
