Soren,

provided I use the official package from FreeBSD for u-boot, how can I
assure I have the right one in the right place? Please excuse me for my
lack of arm arch knowledge. I did looked for the dts on the /boot dir on
the disk, and my guess at the time was there was the same that was used
for the package. Do I need to build myself from ports and then copy the
dts to some place specific to suit this case?

I am not at home now and the box is turned off, later I can spend some
time on it and report back here.

If helps, I got this on the dmesg:

rgephy0: <RTL8169S/8110S/8211 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 0 on miibus0
rgephy0: none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX,
1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, auto
rgephy1: <RTL8169S/8110S/8211 1000BASE-T media interface> PHY 1 on miibus0
rgephy1: none, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX,
1000baseT-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX-master, auto

Running u-boot.

thanks,
