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