Hi,

Nathan's BSDinstaller snapshot[1] for PowerPC is the first image that I have managed to 
boot on my PowerMac G5[2]. This made it possible for me to get dmesg output from
the machine, see the FreeBSD page[3].
When I am looking at the the dmesg, I can see that the hard drive isn't detected. Partial output:
atapci0: <ServerWorks K2 SATA150 controller> mem 0x80600000-0x80601fff irq 256 at device 12.0 on pci6
ata2: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
ata3: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0
ata4: <ATA channel 2> on atapci0
ata5: <ATA channel 3> on atapci0
atapci1: <ServerWorks K2 SATA150 controller> at device 12.1 on pci6
pcib1: failed to reserve resource for atapci1
atapci1: 0x10 bytes of rid 0x20 res 4 failed (0, 0xffffffff).
atapci1: unable to map interrupt
device_attach: atapci1 attach returned 6

I see the errors for atapci1, but AFAIK, nothing is connected there.
However, the cd-rom drive is detected:
acd0: DVDR <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-117D/B705> at ata0-master UDMA66 

Here is the strange part: if I look at the verbose dmesg, I see the hard drive:
ata2: Identifying devices: 00000001
ata2: New devices: 00000001
ata2-master: pio=PIO4 wdma=WDMA2 udma=UDMA133 cable=40 wire
ad0: setting UDMA100
...
ad0: 156334MB <Maxtor 6Y160M0 YAR51HW0> at ata2-master UDMA100 SATA 1.5Gb/s
ad0: 320173056 sectors [317632C/16H/63S] 16 sectors/interrupt 1 depth queue

The FreeBSD page cotains both the normal and verbose dmesg output. 
Is there anything else I can help with?
