It's described in the i.MX datasheet. Internal bootmode means that after
reset the internal ROM is executed which parses a header in flash or on
a SD Card. The header describes how to setup memory, where to load the
image and so on. In external bootmode the i.MX simply executes the code
in NOR flash after reset.

Strange. I just flashed a pcm043 with v2011.10.0 pcm043_defconfig +
external bootmode and it works for me. As you have printf available can
you put something like this into the loop?

	printf("0x%08x 0x%08x\n", mem->start, mem->size)
