thanks. The first information is that the default boot command is hardcoded
in the u-boot binary. I was looking for a text file with this command.
This page also gives the magic commands to load the kernel from
the fat partition of the sd card.

It also seems that one can rebuild a u-boot for this board. I wonder how hard
it would be to add ffs support to u-boot (but maybe it's not worth the
effort).

I've compiled a netbsd-BEAGLEBONE kernel from the last -current sources.
'file' against netbsd.ub tells me that the load address is 0x80300000

I've loaded a kernel this way and got:
## Starting application at 0x80300000 ...
deghuboot arg = 0x1, 0x8ff7a684, 0x8ff7a684, 0x80300000

Is NetBSD on the beaglebone supposed to work yet ?
If no, is a missing items list available somewhere ?
