jumping to kernel entry at 0xc0048000 error on boot cd for sparc64

[Steven Plehier]

You will have to install it using a serial console as the 5.4 GENERIC 
kernel used on the CD doesn't support any framebuffer. Once you 
installed FreeBSD you should recompile the kernel with the

device machfb.

Or you could just try to install FreeBSD 6.0.
