I'm running the LiveCD right now and I don't see support for ext4, I only see ext2/3. Do I have to add something to the command line at boot or anything special?

the liveCD had problems with it so it converted to a ext3. the DvD version of the Alpha doesnt have the problem

Ahh I see, well I just installed it with ext 3 so I'm going to make them ext 4 manually. So far no problems with the Alpha.

I know, I think it was on the release notes. Tried installing it from a DVD and it had support for ext4. I think one way of doing it is making an ext3 boot partition and then the rest ext4

Yup that's what I did (Re-installed Yesterday when I got a fresh batch of blank DVD's.

My current Rawhide setup:

-/boot ext3
--/ ext4
---swap

just read on the devel list that the patched grub that works with ext4 isnt building in koji ( from what i read from Eric Sandeem ) which may mean that ext4 may not make it into fedora11 as default.
