-This is the OpenBSD 2.1 release errata & patch list:
-
-
-
-All architectures
-
-
-Alpha
-
-- CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
- must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
- harder..
-
-
-i386
-
-- Some rarer PC BIOS's do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
-as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
-but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
-sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
-MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
-non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.
-
- The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
-These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:
-MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39
-MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0
-MD5 (X33ps.tgz) = ea49fc1b12c17fc16ece7d0e4ad4ee06
-MD5 (RELNOTES) = 689fda20596a4eb82f86ded51efb01f4
- - A lot of people with IDE disk drives fail to read the
-INSTALL.i386 document, and hence end up with geometry translation
-problems. Read the document, please.

-Amiga
-
-Sparc
-
-- 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:
-
# cd /usr
-# ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
-
- - 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.
-
- 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:
-
# cd /tftpboot
-# dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
-# mv newboot boot
-
- - The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
- and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
- then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
- following sequence of commands before starting the install
- script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
- booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
- the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
- prompt:
- if you install from CD-ROM do the following:
-
# ed install.md
-/\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd/
-wq
-#
-
- ... or if you plan to use the bsd.scsi3 kernel you should use instead:
-# ed install.md
-/\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
-wq
-#
-
- The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
- installing from from CD-ROM)
-# ed /usr/mdec/binstall
-/getopt/,/getopt/+4d
-wq
-#
-
-
-Pmax
-
-- When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
-errors like:
-
# mkfontdir
-mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
-Segmentation fault (core dumped)
-
-this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
-the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
-OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
-version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. You may get a copy
-of the OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1 from
-here . Simply download it and do the following:
-# cd /usr/lib
-# mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
-# cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
-# chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
-# chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
-
-Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
-sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
-after the next reboot if everything is working fine.

-- The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such as "file system read-only" on bootup.
-To correct, boot to single-user mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog) and do the following:
-
-# mount /dev/sd0a /
-# ed /etc/fstab
-1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
-1,$s/ ro / rw /
-w
-q
-
-Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
-to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
-(read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
-Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
-The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
-"ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
- - The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
-This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
-be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
-must make this correction before attempting to boot the system.
-To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
-
-> cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
-
-This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
-replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
-wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
-kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
-command without leading colon(s) like:
-
-> cpin bsd-generic bsd
-
-Good luck.
