IIRC NetBSD/alpha didn't support the EB64+ until after 1.2 - you
can download a -current snapshot from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/alpha/970305
You _might_ be able to get awy with just the ECOFF kernel
from the snapshot, and the rest from the 1.2 CD, but if you
have the time I'd recommend pulling the entire snapshot...
Good luck!
