I decided to try burning an image from Index of

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.
The USB image includes this. Some Powermacs don't have the ability to
boot from USB, however.
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>
What hardware were you using? The ISOs work fine on at least the systems
I've tested on. There was a problem with the ATA driver on a few
machines that could supposedly be solved by setting the loader tunable
hint.ata.X.mode to turn off DMA (see
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=164123).
