FreeBSD booting freescale P1020wlan eval board, via u-boot?

I have been running Linux on a P1020wlan board for some time, and now want to run FreeBSD.

I've successfully built a 'world', along with a kernel which I believe is configured for the MPC85XX, and using a first pass p1020wlan.dts as a
FDT setup, I think I've created an appropriate loader/kernel binary image.

However, no matter how I load the loader, a file seductively named 'ubldr', or kernel, whether using the U-Boot 'bootelf' or 'go' (with objcopying the binary out to a *.bin file...),
I get a fatal trap early on in the process.

I've found little documentation for the powerpc line, other than ancient documentation when PPC and Apple were best buddies.

Is there someone who has booted the p1020rdb, or even the p1020wlan, eval board?

If so what is the configuration and procedure.

Thanks,
John Clark.
