AS2100a is about the least well tested Alpha as far as FreeBSD is concerned.

Andrew (gallatin@) does not even want to be reminded of the work he did
to get 2100 and 2100a supported.  It also made a difference if you had a EV4
or a EV5 CPU installed.  At some time in the dim past it sort-of worked but
that was really it.

I'm afraid you are basically on your own trying to get it working.  Noone 
in the committer community that I know of still has a machine like this
available.

The ones we had at work and which I used in the dim dark past to test my
release builds on have long ago been scrapped.  

Sorry ...

Wilko
