The BBB kernel is tagged as NetBSD, then the U-Boot bootm command
takes the first argument as the load address and the remaining arguments
as a command line that is passed to the kernel.

So

bootm 0x82000000 root=cpsw0

should boot a already loaded kernel which then uses the cpsw0 interface
to identify the network root via BOOTP and/or bootparamd and mount it
via NFS.
