You will soon be able to find it in /pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/6.0 on the various ftp mirror sites. MD5 (6.0-BETA5-EISA-bootonly.iso) = 71b32e9c03e972f53c5d1e879b9b3b65 I have boot tested it on a DS10 but I do not have any EISA equipped Alpha boxes so I am really curious if Bernd's (ticso) suggestion works for your machine model.
