I've got this board at hand now, yay!  I've replaced the original internal usb
stick with another one, tftp-booted [1] and finished minimal install with more
or less default settings.  Here is my partition layout:

    Start  MB   End  MB  Size  MB FS type    Newfs Mount Mount point
    --------- --------- --------- ---------- ----- ----- -----------
 a:         0      1782      1783 FFSv1      Yes   Yes   /
 b:      1783      1911       128 swap
 c:         0      1911      1912 Whole disk
 d:         0         0         0 unused


Now I wonder how to convince the u-boot to boot my newly installed
OS.  I've found out [2] having the 'Configuring U-Boot' section,
which is thematically close to what I want.  Thoughts?
