According to Big Blue's documentation, their quemu won't be able to
boot a 32 bit program.

If I install the last snapshot, chroot to the installed system on my
virtual HD, when running file /boot/loader, I get:

boot/loader: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1
(FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped

which, if true, might be a good reason for not booting.

Why has it to be 32 bit?

luciano.
