                     30: <li>Some rarer PC BIOS's do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
                     31: as a MBR.  The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
                     32: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
                     33: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
                     34: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
                     35: non-zero offset.  For instance, start OpenBSD at track 64 or so.
1.8       deraadt    36: <li>The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
                     37: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:
                     38: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>

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

1.5       todd       56: <li>The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
                     57:        due to X11R6.3's default config file contents.  To fix, su and
                     58:        type:
                     59: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr

1.6       grr        62: <li>The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
                     63:        "dumb" in response to the terminal type query.  As a work-around
                     64:        first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
                     65:        again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
                     66: <li>When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
                     67:        may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
                     68:        to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks.  If this occurs
                     69:        create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
                     70: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
                     71: <b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
                     72: <b>#</b> mv newboot boot

                     76: <ul>
1.10      millert    77: <li> When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
1.9       graichen   78: errors like:
                     79: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
                     80: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
                     81: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
                     82: </pre>
                     83: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
                     84: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
                     85: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
                     86: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. You may get a copy
                     87: of the OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1 from <a
                     88: href=ftp://miranda.rz-berlin.mpg.de/pub/OpenBSD/pmax/fixes/libc.so.16.1>
                     89: here </a>. Simply download it and do the following:
                     90: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
                     91: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
                     92: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
                     93: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
                     94: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
                     95: </pre>
                     96: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
                     97: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
                     98: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.
