I've mentioned this a few times in various threads...no need to use
appended DTB on a current U-Boot. Some of us are indeed booting this way
with the DTB properly passed separately from the bootloader and chosen
filled out by the bootloader. And yes, am335x_evm_config applies to all
AM33xx TI EVMs and the BeagleBone board. There's an EEPROM onboard all
that is used to determine what board is present so a single
MLO/u-boot.img can be used.

BTW, if you pick up an RS-232 cape, you can avoid using the FTDI->UART0
connection for console and switch to any UART brought out on the Bone
connectors. This is useful for those using a power controller and
console server for local automated testing.
