This is the current OpenBSD 2.1 CD errata list:

<ul>

<li>Alpha

<ul>

<li>CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you

must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly

harder..

</ul>

<li>Amiga

<ul>

<li>The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering

multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to

a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single

Line 28

Line 33

<pre># cd /dev

# sh MAKEDEV ttye6

</pre>

</ul>

<li>Sparc

<ul>

<li>The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is

due to X11R6.3's default config file contents. To fix, su and

type:

<pre># cd /usr

# ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3

</pre>

<li>The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify

"dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around

first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted

again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.

<li>When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot

may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due

to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs

create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:

<pre># cd /tftpboot

# dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync

# mv newboot boot

</pre>

</ul>
