Is the Alpha distro available on CD?

[William H. Magill]

New to FreeBSD -- I just purchased the 5.3 bundle expecting to find the 
distribution contained a CD install for multiple platforms like the 
OpenBSD distribution CD, only to discover that it only supports i386!

However, there doesn't appear to be anything on the BSDstore website 
offering any kind of distribution for the Alpha.

... Does one exist? ... or do I have to burn by own.

I'm currently running OpenBSD on one Alpha and planned to install 
FreeBSD on the other.

Neither XP1000 has a CD burner, but I do have a superdrive on my Mac OS 
X 10.3.7 system.

Can anybody give me some pointers to avoid having to regress a few 
years and cut floppies!!!
