Looks like a problem i already encountered (PR/40077) ... I cannot
reboot/halt because pmf_system_shutdown() has disabled the PCI bus
that hold the disks.

Can you try commenting `pmf_system_shutdown()' call in cpu_reboot()
from sys/arch/alpha/alpha/machdep.c and check if that make it work
better.

Thanks.
