You'd need a netboot setup which I tried to describe here. 
https://people.freebsd.org/~andreast/netboot_testing_ppc.txt
If you're familiar with, nevermind.

Then, in the SMS menu you have to set certain parameters like 
client/server/gateway addresses.

I tried to write down the sequence:
1. SMS
     2. Setup Remote IPL (Initial Program Load)
         1. Port1
             1. IP Parameters
                 1. Client IP Address <-- your input
                 2. Server IP Address <-- your input
                 3. Gateway IP Address <-- your input
             ESC
             2. Adapter Configuration
                 2. Spanning Tree Enabled
                     2. No
                 ESC
                 3. Protocol
                     1. Standard
                 ESC
             ESC
         ESC
     5. Select Boot Options
         2. Configure Boot Device Order
             1. Select 1st Boot Device
                 6. Network
                     1. 1st port NIC

If you need some more help, do not hesitate. I'm not that fast in 
responding during the day. $work.

Btw, I put a dual intel nic into one of my G5 and got similar 
experiences. When I configure it at boot time it crashes with some 
busdma traces. But when I let the boot complete and bring the interface 
up afterwards, I can 'network' for a while. It is not stable, I lost the 
connection after a while.

Btw, how can I access the diff as a not git user?

TIA,
Andreas
