The standard CD-ROMs are for i386 only.

- I think you can buy an Alpha CD-ROM distribution
- Download boot floppies and then do an FTP install from
  ftp://ftp.au.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/4.0-RELEASE-alpha/
  (or other suitable mirror - note that the directory structure is
  different on ftp.freebsd.org).
- Download the CD-ROM image from
  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/
- Do a sysinstall from the 3.2 CD-ROM (which had a bootable Alpha
  distribution on disk2), extract 4.0 sources and make world.
