I use virtio for everything.

I've thought from time to time to improve the normal device emulation, just to 
make initial installs easier.  In the meantime you'll probably have to build 
your own kernel with virtio built-in.  I've attached a config file that I used 
once (it looks quite old, as if I've been failing to update it as kernel 
parameters change, but it should be good as a starting point).

I use gentoo, as one of the very few distros that still support alpha.

... or were you trying to use NetBSD?  I've never actually tried that.
