As part of my work on BSDInstall (http://wiki.freebsd.org/BSDInstall), 
I've produced an install CD that can set up a bootable system on Apple 
powerpc hardware. This may be useful to people trying to set up new 
machines. An ISO is here:
http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/bsdinstall-powerpc-20110116.iso.bz2

Because of some trouble with mkisofs, the CD is not an HFS hybrid and so 
is slightly harder to boot than normal. You must first boot into Open 
Firmware (cmd-option-O-F), and then enter:
boot cd:,\BOOT\LOADER.;1 cd:0
