I'm quickly learning this is going to be an uphill battle to do anything productive lol. Any recommendations on an OS that is still actively updated for sparc32? I know Linux and OpenBSD stopped supporting. It looks like NetBSD might be my best option? Curious to hear any recommendations. (BTW- I got this up and running with a netboot install from a Raspberry Pi and my god was there some hidden knowledge needed. I can share the details if anyone is interested.)
I have 3 disks on mine. One with Solaris 2.6, One with Nextstep 3.3 and one external with Netbsd 9.1. Netbsd is kinda cute on this thing but it is slow and forget about running a modern browser.
