The DeviceChart (http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DeviceChart) page it lists the Archos V2, iPods, iAudio, Gigabeat, and Sansa as having "Alarm wake-up"
However, the manual only has a "Wake Up alarm" section (section 7) for the Archos V2 and the iPods.
I'm thinking of buying a Gigabeat, so can anyone tell me, is the wiki or the manual incorrect?

The device chart gives information about the hardware capabilities, but it doesn't say if it is implemented in Rockbox or not.
-
Ok, thanks. I thought that that might be the case, but I read that the h3xx series had the hardware as well but the DeviceChart says it doesn't. Alright, thanks for clearing that up.

I can give you just this hope from the Gigabeatdrivers:
This alarm code works in that it at least triggers INT_RTC. I am guessing
that the OF bootloader for the Gigabeat detects the startup by alarm and shuts down.
This code is available for use once the OF bootloader is no longer required.
-
Thanks, just a bit confused. I thought there already was a rockbox bootloader that replaces the OF bootloader.

Not quite, Rockbox still uses the OF bootloader to bootstrap some hardware initializations that we don't do ourselves yet -- at least this is my understanding. Roughly, the Rockbox bootloader replaces one of the OF firmware files and redirects execution to rockbox.gigabeat (the Rockbox firmware binary).
