Thanks for the answer Nathan. I'm glad to hear it. At present I tried to 
start boot it from CD/DVD and fail with message  "AA060011, /No OS 
image/ was /detected by firmware/. " ISOs I got from

http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/FreeBSD-9.0-20100715-SNAP-powerpc64/
and
http://people.freebsd.org/~nwhitehorn/FreeBSD-9.0-20100910-SNAP-powerpc64/

for both of it the error was same - is it normal or I did something wrong?

I'll try to give you access to the HMC if you can give me a link to DOCs 
"how to setup it" or explain it shortly.

Gennady.
