+U-Boot loader for PandaBoard.
+
+To install this bootloader, copy the files MLO and u-boot.img to the FAT
+partition on an SD card. Normally this is partition 1, but different
+partitions can be set with U-Boot environment variables.
+
+This version is patched so that:
+ * ELF and API features are enabled.
+ * The default environment is trimmed to just what's needed to boot.
+ * The saveenv command writes to the file uboot.env on the FAT partition.
+ * The DTB file name is passed to ubldr using the fdtfile env variable.
+ It defaults to omap4-panda.dtb unless you override it. ubldr loads
+ the DTB from /boot/dtb/ on the FreeBSD partition.
+ (Not tested)
+ * By default, it loads ELF ubldr from file ubldr on the FAT partition
+ to address 0x88000000, and launches it.
+
+For information about running FreeBSD on the PandaBoard, see
