V210 booted from iso and installed but could not find mirror?



Hi Adrian,
Last year I tried to netboot a V120 and V210  and failed spectacularly on both  with CPU lockups and network timeouts.
Net booting Solaris still worked  fine without an error however. 

I managed to find a scrap V240 with  tonne of corrosion and moved the DVD drive from that system to the V210.

Booting from the iso in the DVD allowed me to install without an issue. 

root@daffy:/etc/apt# uname -a
Linux daffy 5.16.0-5-sparc64 #1 Debian 5.16.14-1 (2022-03-15) sparc64 GNU/Linux

However, I was unable to find a mirror to download any packages from. I'm only after basic stuff like tcsh, alpine, openssh-server, etc.

What are my next steps now to make this system useful?

Thanks Adrian for keeping Debian alive on Sparc.

Now to add a second CPU to this box and up the RAM a bit.

Regards
Brian
