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