I updated the firmware and I also tried FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE (I had an old RC 
that I was using before) and I was able to get some output. I was able to 
select Boot Device > IDE CD-ROM, and then it identified FreeBSD. Once it 
booted, it failed with:

Heap memory claim failed!
                         ENTER called ok

I then threw in some random commands at the OF prompt:

0 > boot cd: Unable to use memory at load-base
 ok
0 > boot cd Unable to use memory at load-base
 ok
0 > boot ide0/disk at 0:0 Unable to use memory at load-base
 ok

Is there some verbose boot I can try to get you more information? The CD is at 
least now booting, so the hope continues to live :)
