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