I'm sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear, not the kernel boot parameters, but the kernel parameters in the 'make menuconfig' part of configuring a kernel.

Where is the best place to find a detailed explanation of all the kernel options?

parisc-linux FAQ? one of the last questions has a URL for that.
http://www.parisc-linux.org/

each option has helptext associated with it. iirc, in menuconfig, you press ? to access it. or maybe it's `h'. i don't use menuconfig myself any more.

Select the "Help" option in menuconfig for a description of the option currently highlighted. As for a detailed description you would have to read the source code or browse the Documentation directory in the kernel sources.
