I just yesterday updated the wiki article:

  https://wiki.freebsd.org/powerpc/Raptor/Blackbird

based on my experiences with the new box sitting at my left elbow :-)
So, it's possible to make it work.  Our settings appear _almost_
identical.

OTOH that article still has the instructions I was given to set up
remote access (at Integricloud).  So, I *did* do the 'ifconfig enP4p1s0f2'
dance, whether or not it was neccessary.

So I would either try that, or set Network to "DHCP on a specific
interface", which I think I had to specify, as well.

Let me know what works for you and I will update the wiki article.
I expect we will have more users joining us.
