Unfortunately, this motherboard doesn't support the SRM console, only
AlphaBios.  FreeBSD/alpha will only run on machines which have the SRM
console.  So, you can't run FreeBSD/alpha on a UX motherboard.

There are people working on getting FreeBSD/alpha running on machines
with the AlphaBios, but I have no idea how much progress they've made.
