loaderdev variable works correctly. The uboot_devdesc struct is variously cast back and forth between uboot_devdesc and disk_devdesc as pointers are handed off through various opaque interfaces. uboot_devdesc attempted to mimic the layout of disk_devdesc by having a devdesc struct, followed by a union of some device-specific stuff that included a struct that contains the same fields as a disk_devdesc. However, one of those fields inside the struct is 64-bit which causes the entire union to be 64-bit aligned -- 32 bits of padding is added between the struct devdesc and the union, so the whole mess ends up NOT properly mimicking a disk_devdesc after all. (In disk_devdesc there is also 32 bits of padding, but it shows up immediately before the d_offset field, rather than before the whole collection of d_* fields.) This fixes the problem by using an anonymous union to overlay the devdesc field uboot network devices need with the disk_devdesc that uboot storage devices need. This is a different solution than the one contributed with the PR (so if anything goes wrong, the blame goes to me), but 95% of the credit for this fix goes to Pawel Worach and Manuel Stuhn who analyzed the problem and proposed a fix.

FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
