Passing args to linux kernel is done by setting environment variable named= =20 bootargs. If you can get the u-boot prompt it can be set like: setenv bootargs parameters_go_here you may want to save later this environment by issuing saveenv. I don't have any u-boot device so can't tell you if that's working with=20 =46reeBSD but if it is please inform about it.
