I managed to bumble my way through to installing Alpine on /dev/sda3 by:

- running setup-alpine and entering "none" on the drive choice
- running apk add e2fsprogs
- running mkfs.ext4 on /dev/sda3
- mounting /dev/sda3 at /mnt
- running setup-disk /mnt

The only thing now is making this partition bootable (on a Mac system
with rEFInd)....
