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