I have a (non-Mac) laptop with a similar problem under 4.0.1.  I dealt
with it by booting with -c and doing "disable fwohci" at the userconf
prompt.  (Of course, just about the first thing I did after booting
that way was to build a kernel without firewire.)

This assumes macppc has a way to boot that's semantically equivalent to
i386's (the port my laptop uses) "boot -c".  If not, about all I have
to suggest is to cross-build a kernel on another machine.
