This is the single-user mode. If you exit this shell, it will continue
booting to normal multiuser mode. Please read this FAQ entry
(http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/alpha/faq.html#multiuser-boot). (Briefly,
add A to the kernel boot options in the SRM console before booting to
always boot to multiuser mode. I was also confused by this when I started
using NetBSD/alpha.)
