The bootstrapping instructions on the web page are somewhat dated. FreeBSD/alpha now has a native kernel. Please try booting one of the kernels at http://www.freebsd.org/~dfr to single user mode and if that is successful, you can unpack the FreeBSD binaries from http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/development/alpha. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
