You can find the source code to linload (the first stage of Linux/alpha's
bootstrap) at:

	ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/linload/

And a developer's kit for developing alpha ARC applications at:

	http://www.windows.digital.com/support/drivers/drivers.asp

This includes a document about the ARC firmware api (a bit mips specific
but its easy to figure out what is going on).
