The diagonal slash does indicate a bus. The number beside the slash indicates the width of the bus. I don't know why reset is marked /1 on page 88.

Note that you will sometimes see signals named including their width, particularly when truncated buses are present. Consider the CPU where 'pc' exists in both 16 and 15 bit widths. To avoid ambiguity you might need to use pc/16 for the output of the PC chip and pc/15 for the output of the CPU.
