As you see from

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#R%20Add-On%20Packages

there are two packages:

 * boot 
      Functions and datasets for bootstrapping from the book "Bootstrap Methods and Their
Applications" 
      by A. C. Davison and D. V. Hinkley, 1997, Cambridge University Press. 

  * bootstrap 
      Software (bootstrap, cross-validation, jackknife), data and errata for the book "An 
      Introduction to the Bootstrap" by B. Efron and R. Tibshirani, 1993, Chapman and Hall. 

I suggest you to install the package "boot"...
