This seems rather odd, as FreeBSD 9.1 had been released on 30th. 
December 2012, including the powerpc64 version.

Ah, I guess I just see what could have happen to you. For FreeBSD 
9.1 / powerpc there are only 9.1-RC2 ISOs [1] available. But for 
FreeBSD 9.1 / powerpc64 only the 9.1-RELEASE ISOs [2]. I guess 
the 32bit version of powerpc never got released, but I do not 
know the reason or any details.

If your system does support the powerpc64 version, then it is 
probably easier to just do a fresh installed with the powerpc64 
9.1-RELEASE ISO.


PS: No need to use "reply all", reply only to the list is 
perfect, as I do filter e-mails based on the "List-Id" header line.
