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