I updated my u-boot-beaglebone port to u-boot-beaglebone-2017.07.00 today.  I then copied the MLO and U-BOOT.IMG files to the /boot/msdos partition of my BBB (as directed by the port README) and performed a reboot.  Alas, the system would not boot up.  It appears it cannot locate a DTB file:

Is there some other file I need to copy to /boot/msdos when updating U-Boot?  Here is what I have right now (note, I moved the old, working MLO and U-BOOT.IMG files into uboot.old):

Note, the kernel boots via the old U-Boot.  Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
