>Description:
NetBSD-7.0_RC3/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/armv7.img doesn't boot "out of the box" on a BeagleBoneBlack from SD card -- the u-boot startup cmd is incorrect.  Here's the debug console log:

>How-To-Repeat:
1) Download NetBSD-7.0_RC3/evbarm-earmv7hf/binary/gzimg/armv7.img.gz
2) burn to a uSD card.  On a Linux machine with the uSD as /dev/sdb:
       zcat armv7.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sdb
3) insert uSD card to BBB, apply power, capture output on FTDI console port.
>Fix:
This seems to be the first of several problems with the image on a BBB.  Fixing the u-boot script gets the boot process a bit further, but then RC3 image ultimately enters a forever loop printing:
    ===== edma errint!
