MPC8555CDS: U-Boot vs loader compatibility

All,

I think I recently updated the FreeBSD loader on my CDS
that has U-Boot version 1.3.2-rc1 on it (yes, that sounds
rather fuzzy :-) In any case, the latest PowerPC U-Boot
loader is having a problem with netbooting. I see packets
being transmitted (BOOTP), but none of the responses seem
to arrive at the loader. Then the ARP resolution is
attempted, which fails as well.

I'm assuming there's an incompatibility between my U-Boot
and the loader so I tried building U-Boot on my FreeBSD
box, but that's failing due to FDT fodder in tools/mkimage.
In short: Linuxisms.

So, before I dive into U-Boot build issues and waste my
time on that, can someone tell me if I *do* need to
upgrade and which U-Boot version (at minimum) I need?

Also: did U-Boot grow support to boot from IDE/ATA that's
in the VIA chipset on the mainboard?

Thanks,
