Hm, on http://www.debian.org/ports/alpha/sys_types, DEC 3000 are
listed as unsupported. Are you sure this is a "jensen" (DEC 2000)?

In any case, there isn't really any work being done with the potato
boot floppies any more, so you should rather try the woody boot
floppies at
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-alpha/current. We've
had at least one report of them working on Jensen
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-alpha/2001/debian-alpha-200108/msg00174.html)
