Belt, alternator bearings, pulleys, etc...

How certain are you that it is NOT the belt? You would need to have someone start the car while you are standing on the pass. side of the engine to ascertain this. Otherwise, if you start the engine, you may not have enough time to jump out of the car and give a good listen.
In any event, other possible sources of squealing would be anything that turns/spins. Alternator bearings, tensioner and idler pulleys, a/c compressor bearings, etc. All of these things could cause a squeal if loose or wearing out, and once running, the squeal would disappear.
Definitely try out what I mentioned in the first paragraph. This is the only way you will be able to identify which component is emitting the sound.
BTW: how many miles on that serpentine belt? If it's never been changed, I'm sure you're more than past due to tackle that job. Better safe than sorry, and is fairly simple to DIY.
