This is exactly the same experience one gets trying to install FreeBSD on a 4100. If possible, install FreeBSD on a disk using another Alpha, and transfer the disk back to the 5000. I'm sure it won't just work as we won't identify the machine in the HW dependant bits of /sys/alpha/. BUT you will probably get farther. In a month or so, we could probably get this supported if you are willing to give on of the Alpha developers a serial console on the 5000.
