Actually.. I'm pretty sure you are wrong here.  Alpha has an ARC console..
which NetBSD doesn't support at all.  And I think mips/ARC and alpha/ARC are
totally unrelated.

However..  to port sysinst itself.. is not extremely difficult.  The bulk of
the work is in the arch dependant areas, and makeing sure you set up the
functions to properly prepare the disks and make them bootable.
