Right now I don't think that the alpha install disk works. It'll boot but it won't install if the disk doesn't have a FreeBSD/alpha disklabel. The most recent SNAP available on ftp.freebsd.org is 3.0-19990114-SNAP, it's in /pub/FreeBSD/releases/snapshots/alpha. You can get the disk and try but I think it's broken. You'll need the boot.flp and the mfsroot.flp images to boot. You can then do a boot dva0 and it will prompt you for the mfsroot floppy.
