A suggestion might be to try using a standard disk with their defaults, all formatted and verify that it loads correctly, and then just replace the u-boot.img with your new one and see if it boots, or starts to boot. From what I see, you're doing the most normal things.

For me it's been a while at using a BBB, and back when I did it had a switch or jumper to make it boot off of uSD, however it always seemed to boot off of the SD if there was one. So I didn't understand the boot jumper settings. There were also cases where it would not boot off of the SD, but other hardware versions would. These are like the A2 and B series from a couple of years ago.

Sorry I know that's not too helpful. My initial advice is to verify working and booting off of standard load first and then just try changing the u-boot.img file with your own.
