    Choose a proper subject when asking question.

    I think only two architectures are supported for the stable 4.x releases:
    i386 (the 'regular' PC type) and Alpha workstations.

    See, f.ex. the handbook:
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html

    Rob.
