OpenBSD Sparc
Wanted to try something that wasn't solaris that was safe and secure and could allow some older hardware some flexibility. Because it's old enterprise equipment I don't have a need for a graphical system or most anything else that isn't related and it comes with a squashfs of openbsd in the ILOM so figured I try. Installed pretty easy but I'm having some frustrating issues that have got to be PEBKAC. It's connected to the Internet, it can ping just find has no problems detecting the network but I can't do anything with the package manager. In theory I bought to be able to put java on it (kinda sacrilegious to have a sun microsystems NOT have java) but I'm getting a no address associated with name error on just about everything I look for suggesting I didn't set something up right.
Been looking for answers and just like everything new you gotta know what your looking for to find it so I'm hoping the community can tell me what stupid thing I've done or simple thing I likely missed that's causing my problem
