Which FreeBSD version is that?

My own experience on a couple different PPC-era Macs is that 10.3
works fine, but 11 and CURRENT hang somewhere near where you're showing.
Might or might not be the same issue.  The archives of this list contain
several different threads about boot problems on Apple PPC hardware
over the last year or so.
