  It may be possible to run a non-release version of 5.3 on it - I've
not tried an XServe. Note that the installation procedure is not for the
feint of heart !

  A CD image is at  www.freebsd.org/~grehan/ppc-081304.iso

  ... and this is a pre-built version of the one described in

  www.freebsd.org/~grehan/install.html

later,

Peter.
