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