Would you mind trying an image from here:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/powerpc/powerpc64/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/

There were some improvements on 9.1 and it would be great to make sure
that they are in 9.1. If not, we can start bisect.

I run a Quad on 10.0 and have not much problems so far.
