+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.\"
+.Ss Power fail and crash recovery
+.\"
+Unfortunately, on most machines, the system can't reboot itself
+at power-up or after crashes.
+You might have to restart the system manually.
+Once the system starts, an automatic consistency check of the file systems
+will be performed,
+and unless this fails, the system will resume multi-user operations.
+.\"
+.Ss Cold starts
+.\"
+Typical MIPS based Windows CE Handheld machines
+attempt to boot Windows CE operating system in its own boot ROM.
+You can't boot the
+.Nx
+directly skipping Windows CE.
+The
+.Nx
+bootloaders are provided as application programs on Windows CE instead.
+You can choose
+.Xr hpcmips/pbsdboot 8
+or
+.Xr hpcboot 8 .
+Though the bootloaders are application programs,
+they blow away the entire Windows CE OS and its settings
+when the kernel boots successfully.
+.\"
+.Ss Normal Operation
+.\"
+Once running, a familiar window will appear.
+You can choose the machine type, kernel file location and kernel boot
+options with a GUI and push the button named
+.Dq Li [boot]
+to boot
+.Nx .
+.\"
+.Ss Automatic mode
+.\"
+The bootloaders have an
+.Dq Li auto boot
+option.
+If you enable this option, the specified kernel will be loaded
+automatically after a countdown.
