Last I knew, the Jensen was not supported yet under NetBSD.
Jason Thorpe had asked a while back about interest in it, and I believe was
working on support for the Jensen, but I haven't seen anything since. I
personally
would also be very interested in it, since I have two of them sitting around
doing
nothing right now (I also have a AlphaServer 400 at home, running NetBSD
fine).
