Not *quite* sure what you are after, but bootpath is in
ofw/core/bootparm.fth 

...

d# 1024 buffer: path-buf
headers
' path-buf  " bootpath" chosen-string
headerless
d# 1024 buffer: args-buf
headers
' args-buf  " bootargs" chosen-string

...

And it relates to load-path which is used in
cpu/x86/pc/olpc/security.fth and
cpu/x86/pc/linux.fth

(svn 1424)
