You need the alpha installation floppies.   Look at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/snapshots/alpha/19990206-SNAP/flo
ppies

Make disks of the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp.  Start with the kern.flp floppy
and it will ask for the mfsroot.flp when its ready.  Then it looks like the
i386 install.
