Hmmmm.  Really?  It fails very quickly for me:

root@beast-> cd /usr/src/sys/boot/
root@beast-> ls
CVS             Makefile        alpha           common          i386
root@beast-> make
===> alpha
===> alpha/libalpha
cc -I/home/dfr/FreeBSD/alpha/src/lib/libstand -DDEBUG -I/usr/src/sys/boot/alpha/libalpha/../../common -mno-fp-regs -DDISK_DEBUG -c srmnet.c -o srmnet.o
srmnet.c:45: net.h: No such file or directory
srmnet.c:46: netif.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

And I can't find those headers anywhere.  I reported this last week,
as you might recall.

There's also your fix for ncr.c and the uncopied/unmerged sio bits
still undone, as far as I know.  That's sort of why I was asking for a
general status report on the tree as a whole, not just the boot
blocks.  I'm still trying to put my finger on just how much work is
left before someone can do all the self-hosting work "from scratch"
with no special tips or tricks, e.g. the point when we can sort of
open the doors of -current to alpha folks without having to issue any
special instructions short of the installation process itself.
