FreeBSD 4.7-RC2 for the Alpha architecture should be on mirror sites
very soon.  Presently there is only a mini ISO and an FTP tarball
available as to my knowledge we do not have any packages available
for alpha 4.7-RC2.  If you had problems with kernel modules on
Alpha with RC1, please try RC2.  I think there are still some issues
with sysctl's in kernel modules on Alpha however.
