How to boot my custom system? It depends. You can boot it on real hardware, you can boot in a virtual machine emulator such as Qemu. However, by default, Buildroot does not configure and build a kernel for you, so you'll have to tell it to build a kernel for the hardware you are targeting. Without more precisions from you, it's hard to give a detailed set of steps to follow.
