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