Alpha came into the tree in the 3.x time line and was the reason we started moving to newbus in 4.x (which was only completed by 5.0). I'm pretty sure there was no alpha support as late as 2.2 since I was just looking there for a different reason. There's a similar issue with pc98. It has been in the tree since 2.2. The FreeBSD(98) folks did releases through the 4.x series from almost unmodified FreeBSD trees (the modifications were related to pc98's unique requirements wrt release engineering and occasionally an advance copy of a driver that hadn't been integrated into FreeBSD proper yet). You could run pc98 machines that you build from source from at least 3.2, if not earlier (that was the first release I did it with for various crazy reasons). Warner
