Thanks, but those files appear to be there.  This is what I have:

# ls -l /mnt
total 3680
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   17840 Jul 10 12:41 BOOTCODE.BIN*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root     102 Jul 10 12:41 CONFIG.TXT*

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root  252090 Jul 10 12:55 UBLDR*

I also had the same problem with snapshots 10.1-STABLE from 20150617 and
11.0-CURRENT from 20150618.  I had tested 10.1-STABLE from 20150111 and
that booted properly.  I also tried typing something in at the 'U-Boot>'
prompt this time, but there was no response or echo.  I assume that
might be due to it looking at serial instead of the keyboard.
