I tried once again from the beginning. Here is step by step log what did I do.

First, I created a VM on PC and installed FreeBSD from iso image.
FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso, sha256:
f78d4e5f53605592863852b39fa31a12f15893dc48cacecd875f2da72fa67ae5

After booting VM and login to FreeBSD:

root@freebsd:~ # cd /usr/src/
root@freebsd:/usr/src # make -s -j3 buildworld buildkernel TARGET_ARCH=powerpc64 KERNCONF=QORIQ64

--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> World build completed on Sat Apr  9 12:50:02 CEST 2022
>>> World built in 3697 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j3
--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Kernel build for QORIQ64 completed on Sat Apr  9 12:54:16 CEST 2022
--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> Kernel(s)  QORIQ64 built in 254 seconds, ncpu: 4, make -j3
--------------------------------------------------------------

root@freebsd:/usr/src # make -C release cdrom TARGET_ARCH=powerpc64 TARGET=powerpc KERNCONF=QORIQ64
[long output without errors]

Then I connected X5000 drive to VM using SATA->USB converter, and then:

After that I turned off VM, disconnected drive and connected it to the X5000
as solo drive (no more SATA devices, first SATA port). In U-Boot I did:
X5000> fatload sata 0:1 $loadaddr ubldr
reading ubldr

Unfortunatelly result was the same as before. The reason for error
"Non-NCQ command time out" is no device connected to the second SATA
port.

Is there any step I missed during this procedure?
