As I understand it, U-Boot at some point runs ubldr, which is the normal FreeBSD loader mechanism that knows how to load the kernel; process /boot/loader.conf settings; and so on.  It works on my systems, anyway.  (I just tested the autoboot_delay setting in fact.)
Aha.  Thank you; I believed that loader.conf WAS ignored.

That can be changed in config.txt, along with probing USB (e.g.
keyboards), provided the uboot is of late enough revision.

Now if FreeBSD would do dual-console on boot.....
