I think boot=N means the last person to try it couldn't get it to boot.  When
that list was written, we had no processor support for the TX39xx cpu's.  I
believe someone has recently added that support, and there is a certain kernel
option needed to turn it on.  I'm not sure what version of the kernel you
downloaded, or attempted to boot (I assume you downloaded a kernel).
