+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm boot
+.Nd system bootstrapping procedures
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Windows\ CE machines with
+.Tn SuperH
+CPUs use the
+.Xr hpcboot 8
+program to boot
+.Nx .
+Once running,
+.Nx
+can reboot itself if
+.Xr kloader 4
+is configured in the kernel.
+.Ss Power fail and crash recovery
+.\"
+Unfortunately,
+.Nx
+can't reboot itself at power-up or after crashes.
+The machine will go through the cold reset and boot into Windows\ CE.
+You will have to restart
+.Nx
+manually using
+.Xr hpcboot 8 .
+.Pp
+Once
+.Nx
+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
+.\"
+On cold reset Windows\ CE handheld machines attempt to boot the Windows\ CE
+operating system from the boot ROM.
+The boot ROM is usually not rewritable, so you cannot erase or damage
+Windows\ CE image.
+.Pp
+You can't boot
+.Nx
+directly, skipping Windows\ CE.
+The
+.Nx
+bootloader,
+.Xr hpcboot 8 ,
+is provided as a Windows\ CE application program instead.
+Though the bootloader is an application program, it blows the entire
+running Windows\ CE, its data, and its settings away from RAM (but not
+ROM!\&) when the kernel boots successfully.
+If
+.Nx
+is halted the machine will go through the cold reset and will reboot
+into Windows\ CE.
+.\"
+.Ss Normal Operation
+.\"
+Please, refer to the
+.Xr hpcboot 8
+manual page.

+.\"
+.Sh BUGS
+.\"
+There is no general way to launch the bootloader automatically, as
+only a few Windows\ CE machines provide an
+.Dq auto run
+mechanism.
