Apologies for my ignorance=2E But I attempted to install
FreeBSD on a dual G4 I have a couple years ago=2E But was
unsuccessful=2E I'd like to make another attempt in hopes
all the work Mark has been doing will improve my experience=2E
But I'm not clear whether I should choose the PPC or PPC64
(install) image=2E The hardware doc[1] only indicates PowerPC --
that is; powerpc will install on any powerpc with USB ports=2E

Thank you in advance for any insight into this, and sorry for
my ignorance=2E
