I can't remember what VGA card was in a Jensen, Compaq Qvision? I also don't
remember running VMS/OSF on a graphics head on one of those so it might not
be supported. You need to be in AlphaBIOS to install NT anyway, so what
happens if you

>>> SET OS_TYPE NT
>>> ARC

(this is from rusty memory, YMMV etc, Jensen was also a DEC 2000-300)
