There isn't a snapshot currently -- you have to crossbuild and netboot 
for now. I am planning on making one in the next week or so after my 
next and final round of changes to support DMA above the 4 GB boundary. 
Your other option would be installing a 32-bit system, then building and 
installing a 64-bit kernel and world.

Also, your machine is unsupported right now, even in 32-bit mode, due to 
a missing attachment for the OpenPIC in the U4 system controller. Adding 
that attachment is probably the work of an hour or two, however, if you 
find yourself with some free time, and Andreas Tobler is currently 
working on adding support for it for other reasons, so patches may 
already exist.
