That would need another machine to install on a disk subsequently moved to the Rawhide. RELNOTES today has: "AlphaServer 4100 (Rawhide) does not want to allow installation using floppies. Workaround is to install using another Alpha machine and move the disk to the AS4100. Once installed FreeBSD runs fine." I'd say this should be sufficient? I'll also add a note on the 'init' thing if jkh OKs me touching the *.TXT files.
