I suspect it's a terminal emulation problem. For some reason the
settings were left out of the most recent installation docs (although
maybe that has been fixed now).
You need to make sure you have your terminal set to 115200 8-N-1 and no
flow control. No hardware flow control, no software flow control. In
HyperTerm the choice is None.

That's means, when I push the recessed reset button at the lower right of the unit while holding the center of the joypad. Then I reinsert iPAQ to serial cradle. I quickly type "spacebar" in my notebook, also press "calender" button in iPAQ, but it is useless. I could not see the boot> prompt. Could you give me more detailed instruction about this step.

When I press "spacebar" or "calender", I can see some changes in the window of hypertermal, it is a character could not be recognized, not the prompt you mentioned.
