It does not automatically redirect you.

Do you also have libresolv and libnss_dns?  These are needed by Opera to 
access websites.  I put them in my operalib.tgz packages but they may 
not be in the library package at BL3 site.

Can you access a local site, such as /tmp (make sure there is something in 
it first and it should give you a list)?

elinks works for me in BL3 (I mounted it and chrooted to it first).
It shows websites.  It is very fast.
