I doubt that anybody has tried it.

Uh, the AlphaStation 200 & 400 include firmware that provides the SRM
console software and OSF/VMS PALcode.  That's all that's necessary to
boot NetBSD.

NetBSD/Alpha don't rely on any part of OSF/1 (though installing it can
be a pain unless you've got _some_ unix box to make a disk image
with).

It'd be nice if we had our own firmware (as i think the linux folks
do, because some machines, sold for use as NT boxes, don't include
it), but that's not likely to be something I'm going to be working on.
