Hello,
my name is Jan and I am new to FreeBSD. I am used to work with Debian and Ubuntu servers but for this particular harware I have sitting here FreeBSD seemed the most appropiate OS. With a mix of different HowTo type instructions and some intuition I was able to installe the basic system via tftp and nfs. The system boots fine and I can log in. To start with I have tried to use pkg to install packages. I was offered to have it installed because it was not present on the system. This failed and I installed it from the ports instead. Next I tried to run pkg update which also failed. Since I know I have internet access and DNS works just fine I am at a loss how to proceed. Here is the full outpot I get from running pkg update.
I have checked the URL http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:11:sparc64/quarterly/meta.txz in a browser and I get a 404 error. What would be the correct URL and where would I configure this ?
I suppose it is also possible that I am on the wrong path and have mised an important step after the installation, I am wondering does anybody know a solution to above problem or has a link to a well done up-to-date HowTo for sparc64 on a headless Netra T1 via console cable ?
My hardware:
lom>show
escape #.
model Netra T1 200
cut....../cut

I have installed from FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-sparc64-dvd1.iso via tftp for the loader and nfs.
Kind Regards
Jan
