OK. This is definitely too little free memory to continue the install. In
my experience you need something like 10MB free at the beginning of
partitioning for things to work correctly.
This means that the lowmem levels do need adjusting for alpha. Steve has
said that he will investigate the correct levels.
You will probably be able to install your system by booting with as extra
boot parameter BOOT_DEBUG=3. This should drop you into a shell. You can
then edit /lib/debian-installer-startup,d/S15-lowmem (using nano) and
change the value of level2 to 50 in last set of values to:
<snip>
*)
level1=64
level2=50
min=0 #FIXME
;;
esac
</snip>
When you do this, the installer should start in lowmem level 2 instead of
level 1 which will allow you to not install unneeded components.
I suggest that you _do_ select partman-ext3 as additional component. That
should still leave enough memory free.
