NetBSD/alpha uses

	s     single-user mode bootstrap.
	a     (automatic) multi-user mode bootstrap.

although FreeBSD may well use different flags.

I can't seem to find an Alpha version of FreeBSD's boot(8) man page.  :-(

FreeBSD's x86 boot(8) man page says 's' is also single user, so...

Perhaps try:

	 >>>boot -flags s dka400
