Alpha System: override startup(), instead of loadState()

Alpha System was overriding loadState() function to setup some functional
event. The system tried to read/write to memory before the Ruby memory had
unserialized the state. With this patch, Alpha System overrides the
startup() function, and sets up functional events in this function. This
works because startup() is called after Ruby memory system has unserialized
the memory state.
