So for convenience, I have cached a copy and a kernel at http://people.linaro.org/~richard.henderson/alpha/vmlinux-smp.xz http://people.linaro.org/~richard.henderson/alpha/gentoo.igz http://people.linaro.org/~richard.henderson/alpha/install-alpha-minimal-20190312T021158Z.iso Decompress the kernel. Boot: qemu-system-alpha -m 1G -nographic \ -kernel vmlinux-smp -initrd gentoo.igz \ -drive if=virtio,readonly,file=install-alpha-minimal-20190312T021158Z.iso \ -append 'console=ttyS0 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs \ loop=/image.squashfs cdroot' will arrive at the livecd prompt. Actual installation for gentoo additionally requires a disk onto which to install and the gentoo stage3 image. I usually provide the latter as a third virtio device and untar directly from /dev/vdc. r~
