What is the FreeBSD loader?
see https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?loader(8). Which is rather nice,
FreeBSD uses
the same loader independent of arch, so booting the previous kernel /
kernel module stuff
and rescue things are roughly the same on i386, amd64 and arm. The
loader communicates
with u-boot by its api.
Do you mean that U-Boot can boot FreeBSD?
Hence he meant what he wrote. Be able to run the FreeBSD _loader_.
The FreeBSD loader will take care of booting FreeBSD.
Regards,
Jeroen
