Copy your hints file (/boot/device.hints) into your sys/alpha/conf
directory and give it a name like "FOO.hints" where FOO is typically
the name of your config file.  Then add this to the config file:

	hints	"FOO.hints"

Finally it is probably a good idea to make /boot/device.hints an
empty file, since I suspect (but am not sure) that it overrides the
compiled-in hints.
