I thought one needs at least version 3.0-RELEASE to install complete DEC
Alpha support. So ye might want to wait untill the 14th of February to get
the 3.1 CD's and avoid the older bootblocks and other steps.

I don't know about the CD's booting under Alpha though as I only use the
i386 up 'till now. Someone more informed might be the perfect person for
that =)

Else try the freebsd-alpha list...
