Please update the freebsd-beaglebone scripts and
try again.  I found and fixed a couple of problems:

 * I had reversed the logic to decide if patches were already
   applied, so U-Boot wasn't getting patched.
 * One of my patches needed to be updated to work with
   the newest U-Boot sources.
 * I added some logic so that the beaglebsd.sh script will
   actually fail with an error message if the U-Boot patch,
   configure, or build steps fail.  This should make problems
   like this more obvious.

Let me know if you run into any other issues.

Cheers,

Tim
