Someone beat me to filing a bug about it:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294706

I need to go see why the /loader/ no longer works (the latest
powerpc64 iso image + loader just hangs during kernel loading)
and then I'm going to poke you and the submitter to figure out what
regressed. It could just be an endian issue but
(once I fix the loader again) it should be easily testable with qemu
on x86 + ppc64 QEMU VM.
