With a usual setup of a partition table with just one partition on the
cfdisk, the boot command should be

exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/hda1"

Though I have heard about people just putting a singe filesystem on the
whole disk (/dev/hda), I tend to treat them like harddisks and fdisk them,
with one or more partitions.

If necessary, ou can also boot a different kernel contained on the cfdisk
by using this load command

load -r -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/vmlinux.bin

immediately before the exec command - remember to substitute the full
pathname of the kernel file for "hda1:/vmlinux.bin" above.
