Unless I'm missing something, the a4 hasn't been bootable by upstream in
about 10 years now... There's no top-level compatible, so there's no
match in the generic board code. I can't recall if the A4 versions were
available to anyone other than maintainers and beagleboard.org folks
themselves as part of bring-up/testing. I know I had one and ewasted it
a while ago.
