The boot process:
- Firmware (Closed) from the ROCK64 looks into SPI flash and execute U-Boot.
- U-Boot loads the OpenBSD loader from MicroSD or emmc and execute it.

I hope I could clarify that.

I interpret your statement as follows.

Step 1 of the guide explains the placement of U-Boot, which is the (pre)bootloader, on the flash media.
Step 2 explicates the installation of OpenBSD along with /its/ bootloader on the same.

Booting into 'BSD requires both U-Boot and OpenBSD, in succession.
