Not that I noticed.  But it might be worth taking the VGA card out 
completely and see if it boots with a serial console.  There seems
to be fishy stuff with sc(4) and some VGA cards on Alpha.

Example: today I had an AS255 lockup after jumping to the kernel 
on BETA2.  Another VGA card and it is happily running now. Weird
if you ask me..
