Only if he's both persistant and lucky.  We really need somebody from
the doc team to make http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/alpha.html at
least somewhat useful.  Its rather ironic that, as the only fully
"working" non x86 port, alpha has the worst web site.  Even a link to
HARDWARE.TXT would be a vast improvement.

For now, the best resource is the "HARDWARE.TXT" file from the latest
release:
(ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/4.3-RELEASE/HARDWARE.TXT)

And yes, the 2100A should work in 4.3.  Don't use any releases earlier
than 4.3 for a 2100A.
