I tried to get my alpha live so I could test tty patches on it
but gave up. 5.2.1-R gave the same error as a snapshot from
.jp and it looks to me like the machine doesn't even want to
recognize the CD as bootable.

There is some outstanding issue with the loader on alpha (toolchain
related as I understand it) but that should not keep it from getting
to the 1st stage boot.

Actually I remembered wrong.
The jp snapshot gave this:
block 0 of dka100.1.0.2000.0 is not a valid boot block
Whereas 5.2.1 gave this:
cia0: extended capabilities: 21<DWEN,BWEN>
pcib0: <2117x PCI host bus adapter> on cia0
pci0: <PCI bus> on pcib0
eisab0: <PCI-EISA bridge> at device 7.0 on pci0
halted CPU 0
halt code = 7
machine check while in PAL mode
PC = 18100
