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