I want to say “thanks” to all who answered to my question.

In the end, I solved the problem using the second port of my screen and 
a free cable of a keyboard/mouse switch to start my first installation 
of Alpine Linux. Now I have it running on a RasPi 3B+ and I am delighted 
with this minimalistic system.

Only to find documentation is rather difficult.
But for my next problem, I make a new mail with appropriate subject line.
