I was just updating the Zedboard wiki page last night: https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Zedboard.  It goes through building an SD image for Zedboard from source.  For parallella, skip building u-boot.

My zedbsd page (http://www.skibo.net/zedbsd/#parallella) has a tarball with two of the files you need in the boot partition: uImage and devicetree.dtb.  I should describe on my page how those are made from source.  uImage is the Zedboard kernel wrapped using mkimage (which gets built as part of u-boot I think) and devicetree.dtb is compiled from the parallella.dts file I posted in an earlier email.  You also need to put your board-specific FPGA bitstream, parallella.bit.bin, in the boot partition.

Let me know if something doesn’t work for you.

Cheers,
