Well...I did install Alpha with the ISO, but I used a different approach
from the usual.
Since I don't have a burner nearby, I extract vmlinuz and initrd.gz from the
ISO and use it to mount the ISO file while booting from a USB stick with
UBCD in it.

http://cpbotha.net/2010/05/24/an-even-more-ultimate-boot-disk/ - This shows
you how to do it.

However, I *should* try using it with a proper CD and see how it goes.

PS. It seems that the ISO doesn't work in Virtualbox, and interestingly
enough the outcome is exactly the same as Steve's.

PS2. ISO works fine when you use 'nomodeset', just as Bob suggested. I
wonder why it doesn't work without it?
Especially when the USB booting method that I used works okay without
'nomodeset'...

PS3. I think we need to have some guideline to help figure out which area of
Alpha we need to test. (it seems that https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing isn't
up-to-date yet.)
