Here you have the noun _kernel_: that's the essential thing.

However, it's not just a kernel, it's a specific type of kernel, called 
a _boot_ kernel. Here the word boot acts as an adjective, describing 
the noun kernel.

Therefore the options or parameters (used loosely as synonyms) should 
belong to the boot-type kernel. They should be boot-kernel options (or 
parameters).

I hope that helps...
