Embarassing question here....

To install FreeBSD on DEC Alpha 200/266 and 500 machines
do I use  exactly the same procedure, setup disk and libraries as
installing on an Intel x86 machine  ?

And whilst I am at it, are there any reasons NOT to run FBSD on
an DEC Alpha ? (They are currently running Digital Unix but I don't
like the way that OS does things.)

cheers,
