My best suggestion would be to check the Alpha FAQ at (I think):
www.azstarnet.com/~axplinux/
Anything that'll run with RedHat should run with Debian, though
someone might have to compile a custom boot disk for you. Try to
stick with something that is MILO compatible---which the FAQ should
tell you.

Unfortunately, most of the Debian/Alpha people don't have a whole lot
to do with anything other than their particular box...

Yes, it can install itself, so you need not have RedHat. I can't
speak from experience, unfortunately, as I put my system up before we
had boot disks.
debian-alpha has people with much more experience with installation
than I.
