Thanks to all for the help - Alpine Linux is now live in the  Amazon EC2 
cloud.  The following isn't pretty (no prepackaged AMI or anything) - 
more like duct-tape and fishing line - but its a start.

Pre setup:
   * Set up a local box so that it does
     * dhcp on eth0
     * starts sshd
     * put your public key in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
     * set the root password
     * lbu include root/.ssh
     * You may wish to delete the /etc/ssh/*key* files, so that they are 
created  on the new box
   * lbu package amazon.apkovl.tar.gz
     * IMPORTANT:  If you are building this on a 32bit box, delete 
etc/apk/arch from the apkovl.tar.gz file

* Create an instance, use Amazon Linux, *64bit* version
* Copy the amazon.apkovl.tar.gz to the instance
* Log in, sudo
* Move the apkovl.tar.gz to /
* wget the latest alpinelinux *x86_64* iso. 32bit won't work
* Copy alpinelinux to the EBS harddrive
   * mkdir x;
   * mount alpine*.iso x -o loop
   * cd x
   * cp -av apks /
   * cp boot/* /boot
   * cd
* Edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf so that it looks something like this:

> default=0
> fallback=1
> timeout=3
> hiddenmenu
>
> title Alpine Linux
> root (hd0)
> kernel /boot/grsec alpine_dev=xvda1:ext4 modules=loop,squashfs,sd-mod,ext4 console=hvc0 pax_nouderef BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/grsec
> initrd /boot/grsec.gz
>
>
> title Amazon Linux AMI (PV)
> root (hd0)
> kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.12-3.2.4.amzn1.i686 root=LABEL=/ console=hvc0
> initrd /boot/initramfs-3.2.12-3.2.4.amzn1.i686.img

    * syslinux automatically adds the BOOT_IMAGE to the kernel command 
line; grub does not.

* Reboot
