You will need to compile the kernel and userland. It is a book-E 
machine. There are no binaries for the X5000. ubldr should be in 
/boot/uboot after the install. The FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE iso kernel will 
emendently  panic. Although, your issue is still with the bootloader not 
finding the kernel, because that boot loader from the iso will get you 
to the kernel. I have tried it. You may want to put FreeBSD on it's own 
disk until you get it working.

Also, you may want to ask questions on: EFNet PowerPC64 chat.

Kind Regards,
