19: This is the current OpenBSD 2.1 CD errata list:
20: <ul>
1.6 grr 21: <li><strong>Alpha</strong>
22: <ul>
1.1 deraadt 23: <li>CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
1.3 deraadt 24: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
25: harder..
1.6 grr 26: </ul>
1.7 ! deraadt 27: <li><strong>i386</strong>
! 28: <ul>
! 29: <li>Some rarer PC BIOS's do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
! 30: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
! 31: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
! 32: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
! 33: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
! 34: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at track 64 or so.
! 35: </ul>
1.6 grr 36: <li><strong>Amiga</strong>
37: <ul>
1.4 niklas 38: <li>The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
39: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
40: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single
41: user mode and do:
1.5 todd 42: <pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
1.4 niklas 43: <b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
44: </pre>
1.6 grr 45: </ul>
46: <li><strong>Sparc</strong>
47: <ul>
1.5 todd 48: <li>The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
49: due to X11R6.3's default config file contents. To fix, su and
50: type:
51: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr
52: <b>#</b> ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
53: </pre>
1.6 grr 54: <li>The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
55: "dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around
56: first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
57: again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
58: <li>When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
59: may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
60: to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs
61: create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
62: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
63: <b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
64: <b>#</b> mv newboot boot
65: </pre>
66: </ul>
