Actually, the Jornada 6xx series is covered by the hpcsh port as it has 
an SH3 chip (or maybe SH4). Someone asked a similar question on 
port-hpcsh a few days ago:

In a nutshell, make a small partition on a CF card which has 
hpcboot.exe, a NetBSD install kernel, and a miniroot.fs. Launch 
hpcboot.exe, point it to the netbsd kernel and miniroot.fs, boot, and 
run through the NetBSD installer.
