Sorry, I missed the "Please follow instructions given here" link on the
download page. Things are making more sense now.

I guess I was expecting a single slice that you would partition up,
which is what I'm familiar with from FreeBSD on i386. Seems like the 
installing-into-a-single-slice approach would be simpler.

FWIW, I found out about FreeBSD 6's PPC support reading an interview
with Scott Long (http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=35212),
where he says

"One of the best kept secrets about 6.0 is that it can be installed onto
a G4 PowerMac and function fully, including running X and your favorite
desktop manager. The only caveat is that it doesn't work yet with the
built-in keyboard found on iBooks and PowerBooks."

This is why I was initially thinking "oh, it'll just be like the normal
FreeBSD install."
