I notice some i386 specific "if" statements in .4th, but do not have
anywhere near enough knowledge to understand what this is for, but will try
this shortly and post back.

I'm running freebsd kernel.bin from usb & FAT32 using:
fatload usb 0:1 900000 kernel.bin
go 900000

I've read your notes from
http://www.bsdcan.org/2008/schedule/attachments/49_2008_uboot_freebsd.pdf
but don't understand the implications of the alternative boot methods, but
from reading that, I presume the note on ubldr is not relevant to me? Or
will switching methods enable me to work around this problem?

I'm running the Sheevaplug installer version, which is Marvell's version
3.4.19 which is based on 1.1.4.

I'm reluctant to switch to Marvell's Open-Uboot stack due to reported
problems here: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=975.0
