Stupid questions on installing

[Super Bisquit]

I'm pushing this question a second time.
The last usb-key that I tried using to dd the image was effectively
destroyed. The DVD-ROM drive is basically shot on the Powerbook
Titanium.  I'd like to know if anyone has used the memstick image to
install FreeBSD to a PowerpC32 machine and what was done to the usb
device with the dd command.

The process will also need to be started in qemu with the -nographic
option. Using gpart did not allow me to create more than four or five
partitions: <- Has this been fixed &/or what is the work around?

The 9.1-RELEASE images in the snapshot directories are crashing in
qemu with kernel entry at 0x1000e0. This also occurs on the real
machine.
