I'd recommend trying the images for debian-installer instead, as those
*should* set up booting correctly:

  http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/jessie/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/

Check out README.concatenateable_images there.

FWIW, I think I even successfully did a GUI install with that once, by
setting in u-boot:

  setenv console=tty1
  setenv bootargs console=tty1

And using an HDMI monitor and USB keyboard.

You would need to put uEnv.txt at the /uEnv.txt, not /boot/uEnv.txt,
unless you mount boot as a separate partition.

But in general, I'd recommend against using uEnv.txt, as it's not
supported in mainline u-boot for the Cubox-i, and not supported in newer
versions of u-boot in Debian (e.g. stretch).
