FreeBSD 5.4 for Sparc

I tried to install FreeBSD 5.4 to clone of a Sun
machine based on ultrasparc2 processor.
Actually it is UltraSparc II 248MHz on ATX format
motherboard.
When I tried to boot it from boot CD, system seems to
hang after 

booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]...
nothing to autoload yet.

I tried to boot Debian Linux sparc port - it boots,
but it hangs after detecting network cards.

Solaris 9 installation - OK.

Marius Strobl wrote about that problem 
"You're probably trying to use a not yet supported
graphics card.
Either plug in a supported one, for the E220R you're
only choices
so far probably are Sun PGX (aka Sun PGX8) and Sun
PGX64 as AFAIK
the chassis doesn't allow to use the UPA slots, or use
the serial
console instead."

Actually graphics card in my system is ATI PCI Mach64
GT, I hope ATI cards is supported in FreeBSD, so may
be there's workaround for that issue ?
