Correct, Jensen is not supported in FreeBSD/alpha at this point in time. > Is this machine to old ? That is not the reason, it is more that nobody of the developers has ever dived into Jensen. It is definitely a 'special'piece of hardware that needs quite some specific code support. The NetBSD folks, specifically Jason Thorpe, is working to get Jensen supported in NetBSD. When this succeeds we might see a port of the necessary support code to FreeBSD/alpha sometime.
