description:
Move the BBBB man page out of the kernel tree, since it needs to be built on
all architectures and non-arm26 systems won't descend into sys/arch/arm26.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm BBBB
+.Nd Bootloader for
+.Nx Ns /arm26
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl adsqv
+.Op Ar file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is a program that runs under
+.Tn RISC OS
+and launches the
+.Nx Ns /arm26
+kernel.  It needs to be installed in a
+.Tn RISC OS
+filesystem and given file type FFB (BASIC).  The kernel it is to load
+also needs to be stored in a
+.Tn RISC OS
+filesystem.
+.Pp
+It takes the following options, which set flags in the
+.Va boothowto
+variable in the booted kernel:
+.Bl -tag -width Fl
+.It Fl a
+.Pq Dv RB_ASKNAME
+Cause the kernel to prompt the user for the name of the device containing the
+root filesystem.  This also causes
+.Nm
+to prompt for the name of the kernel to be loaded.
+.It Fl s
+.Pq Dv RB_SINGLE
+Cause the kernel to ask
+.Nm init
+to boot into single-user mode.
+.It Fl d
+.Pq Dv RB_KDB
+Cause the kernel to ented the kernel debugger as soon as possible.
+.It Fl q
+.Pq Dv RB_QUIET
+Cause the kernel to emit fewer messages than normal while starting up.
+.It Fl v
+.Pq Dv RB_VERBOSE
+Cause the kernel to emit more messages than normal while starting up.
+.El
+.Pp
+.Nm
+attempts to load the kernel from the
+.Tn RISC OS
+file specified as
+.Ar file ,
+or from
+.Pa netbsd
+if
+.Ar file
+is not specified.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ddb 4 ,
+.Xr init 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+.Nm
+is as old as
+.Nx Ns /arm26 ,
+which isn't very old.  Its name is a contraction of
+.Dq Ben's BASIC BSD Bootloader .
+.Sh BUGS
+.Nm
+cannot load kernels from a
+.Nx
+filesystem, nor can it load compressed kernels.
