Hi Joseph,
Welcome to the mailing list!
Try the 10.1 STABLE iso at
http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/powerpc/powerpc64/ISO-IMAGES/10.1/FreeBSD-10.1-STABLE-powerpc-powerpc64-20150121-r277483-disc1.iso
There are reported to be some problems with powerpc64 (e.g. Macintosh G5) disks prior to this one.
Rick
PS: Please report back to the freebsd-ppc mailing list and tell us how/whether it worked for you…
