Install FreeNAS on an old ReadyNAS 1100

I have an old ReadyNAS 1100 by Netgear. It has 4x500GB disks. http://kbserver.netgear.com/products/rnr4000.asp

Can I install FreeNAS on it? If so, can you please explain how?

As far as I can understand, the ReadyNAS has it's system in a FlashROM.

Does it have a load? BIOS? Will putting FreeNAS on a USB help?

The ReadyNAS systems have custom made RISC CPUs, there's no BIOS (as you know it); currently FreeNAS only releases i386 and amd64 versions, and the on-board flash likely isn't big enough either.
