1.1 deraadt 40: <br>
1.8 deraadt 41: <dl>
1.1 deraadt 42: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>All architectures</font></h3>
43: <ul>
44: <li>One of the install scripts has a flaw that makes the CD-ROM mount fail
45: when using the CD-ROM as the install source media.
46: To workaround this use the following sequence of commands before
47: starting the install script. This must be done each time the install
48: kernel is booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM
49: is the media to install from. Do the following at the shell prompt:
50: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.sub
51: /{_filesystem/s//{_fstype/
52: wq
53: <b>#</b>
54: </pre>
55: For architectures where the install scripts start automatically
56: (like amiga), you need to abort it at the (I)nstall or (U)pdate
57: prompt by pressing Ctrl-C before doing the above command. After
58: that you can restart the install by:
59: <pre><b>#</b> install
60: </pre>
61: </ul>
62: <br>
63: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Alpha</font></h3>
64: <ul>
65: <li>CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
66: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
67: harder..
68: </ul>
69: <br>
70: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>i386</font></h3>
71: <ul>
1.17 jsyn 72: <li>Some rarer PC BIOSs do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
1.1 deraadt 73: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
74: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
75: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
76: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
77: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.
78: <li>The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
79: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:<br>
80: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>
81: MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0<br>
82: MD5 (X33ps.tgz) = ea49fc1b12c17fc16ece7d0e4ad4ee06<br>
83: MD5 (RELNOTES) = 689fda20596a4eb82f86ded51efb01f4<br>
84: <li>A lot of people with IDE disk drives fail to read the
85: INSTALL.i386 document, and hence end up with geometry translation
86: problems. Read the document, please.
87: </ul>
88: <br>
89: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Amiga</font></h3>
90: <ul>
91: <li>The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
92: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
93: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single
94: user mode and do:
95: <pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
96: <b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
97: </pre>
98: </ul>
99: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Sparc</font></h3>
100: <ul>
101: <li>The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
102: due to X11R6.3's default config file contents. To fix, su and
103: type:
104: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr
105: <b>#</b> ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
106: </pre>
107: <li>The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
108: "dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around
109: first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
110: again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
111: <li>When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
112: may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
113: to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs
114: create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
115: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
116: <b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
117: <b>#</b> mv newboot boot
118: </pre>
119: <li>The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
120: and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
121: then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
122: following sequence of commands before starting the install
123: script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
124: booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
125: the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
126: prompt:
127: if you install from CD-ROM do the following:
128: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
129: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd/
130: wq
131: <b>#</b>
132: </pre>
133: ... or if you plan to use the bsd.scsi3 kernel you should use instead:
134: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
135: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
136: wq
137: <b>#</b>
138: </pre>
139: The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
140: installing from from CD-ROM)
141: <pre><b>#</b> ed /usr/mdec/binstall
142: /getopt/,/getopt/+4d
143: wq
144: <b>#</b>
145: </pre>
146: </ul>
147: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Pmax</font></h3>
148: <ul>
149: <li> When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
150: errors like:
151: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
152: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
153: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
154: </pre>
155: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
156: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
157: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
1.16 miod 158: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. Once you have the
159: OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1, do the following:
1.1 deraadt 160: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
161: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
162: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
163: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
164: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
165: </pre>
166: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
167: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
168: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.
169: </ul>
170: <p>
171: <li><h3><font color=#e00000>Mac68k</font></h3>
172: <ul>
173: <li>The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such as "file system read-only" on bootup.
174: To correct, boot to single-user mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog) and do the following:
175: <pre>
176: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
177: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
178: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
179: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
180: w
181: q
182: </pre>
183: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
184: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
185: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
186: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
187: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
188: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
189:
190: <li>The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
191: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
192: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
193: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
194: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
195: <pre>
196: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
197: </pre>
198: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
199: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
200: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
201: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
202: command without leading colon(s) like:
203: <pre>
204: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
205: </pre>
206: Good luck.
207: </ul>
