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