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.
