Exactly. The architecture of Apple G5 PPC 64bit RISC CPU is pretty different
from AMD64 architecture. This is why a bit pattern that does not recognizable
effect on an Intel CPU can cause the open firmware of RISC CPU hang up.

The machine's specs are

Apple G5 PowerPC Dual Core
Firmware 5.1
4 GB RAM
(OS-X 10.5.4 Leopard)

Get your hand on a similar 64bit PowerPC, try to boot your FreeBSD images and
ty to copy the boot loader of a burnt DVD under OS-X. Both should fail.
