I have just been handed a PowerBook G4 3.5 with no OS.  I am attempting
 to install the latest snapshot as of June 13.  The install from CDROM
completes and it syncs time, so I know that it has working Ethernet
connectivity.

During boot after install, it hangs.  The last lines the kernel prints
are:

bootpath: /pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:/bsd
root on wd0a (d857303cb8fe2d43.a) swap on wd0b dump on wd0b
initializing kernel modesetting (RV250 0x1002:0x4C66 0X1002:0X4C66
0X01).
[drm] *ERROR* Unable to locate a BIOS ROM
radeon_cp: Failed to load firmware "radeon/R200_cp.bin"
[drm] *ERROR* Failed to load firmware!
drm:pid0:r100_startup *ERROR* failed initializing CP (-2)
drm:pid:r100_init *ERROR* Disabling GPU acceleration

There is no IP connectivity at this point, so I don't seem to have any
way to poke around in the machine.  There is no built-in serial, and
even if I used a Serial/USB adapter, I don't know if it would be
recognized let alone spin up a tty.

What additional information can I provide or what should I attempt
next?
