Go through the mailing lists. You can only boot 64bit on 64bit and 32bit on 32bit for FreeBSD. Debian needs to boot a 64bit kernel for 64bit machines.
I made the reply because that is similar to the BTX bootloader. Let Baptiste get a powerpc machine and try using that bootloader, it won't work. It won't work on sparc (64/ultra), and it won't work on arm.
