Should we enumerate all the possible device types, e.g. include 
bootcmd_sata0, bootcmd_ide0, ...?

We should definitely mention that bootcmd_usb is an internal 
implementation detail even though bootcmd_usb0 is a command that we 
intend users to run. In the text, perhaps rephrase bootcmd_<target> as 
bootcmd_<devtype><devnum>, and note that <devnum> is not optional in the 
command name?
