If you do not like dtbfile loading from freebsd-ufs partition, you
could try to change your u-boot environment. I did not try it, I am
satisfied with status quo for now, but try first break into u-boot
prompt (you have two seconds for this, I think) and output from
printenv (or env print, if you prefer - should be identical) tells you
how kernel is loaded. You could hack it here to load dtb file (in
u-boot you see it called fdtfile). Good luck!
