I had a look and it seems U-Boot doesn't have a dedicated configuration for
the ML403 board yet, although some people mentioned a successful attempts to
use the one for ML300.

You basically need to download U-Boot and first make it run on the ML403
(which might require some work on its own). After this initial stage, enable
U-Boot API (add #define CONFIG_API to the board's config) and have FreeBSD
loader run on top of U-Boot; only after this the proper kernel work would start..
