I'm not sure anyone has tried it yet.
Please download the most recent NetBSD/alpha binary snapshot from:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/alpha/snapshot/20010719-1.5W/
...there are installation instructions there.
Please give it a shot and let us know (I suspect it will work; I believe
this is basically an AlphaServer 1200, which I know works well, since I
have one :-)
