description:
add a boot(8) manual page for the alpha.  the real value in this
page for now isn't the descriptive text, it's the comments in the
roff source which describe an outline of what the descriptive text
should look like.  also useful is the one stop shopping list of
non-deprecated bootstrap-related commands and files.

+.Nd Alpha system bootstrapping procedures
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+When the
+.Nx Ns Tn /alpha
+kernel is booted normally
+it initializes itself and proceeds to start the system.  An automatic
+consistency check of the file systems takes place, and unless this
+fails, the system comes up to multi-user operation.  The proper way
+to shut the system down is with the
+.Xr shutdown 8
+command.
+.Pp
+If the system crashes, it will enter the kernel debugger,
+.Xr ddb 8 ,
+if it is configured in the kernel.
+If the crash occurred during
+initialization and the debugger is not present or is exited, the
+kernel will halt the system.
+If the crash occurred during normal operation and the debugger
+is not present or is exited, the system will attempt a dump to the
+configured dump device (which will be automatically recovered with
+.Xr savecore 8
+during the next boot cycle), and after the dump is complete (successful
+or not) the kernel will attempt a reboot.
