But. . . if you take a look at the web site, you'll see the main page
certainly gives the overwhelming impression that we're PC only. I've also
just spent 5 minutes looking (on behalf of a friend) for information about
which Alpha's we support. www.freebsd.org/alpha/ didn't help, and the
release notes for 3.2 only mention "alpha" in respect of a gdb upgrade.
In particular, the "supported configurations" section of the release
notes doesn't mention alpha at all.
I'll drop a note to -alpha mailing list mentioning this, and ask if
anyone's interested in working on it.
