1.1 deraadt 77: <ul>
78: <li>One of the install scripts has a flaw that makes the CD-ROM mount fail
79: when using the CD-ROM as the install source media.
80: To workaround this use the following sequence of commands before
81: starting the install script. This must be done each time the install
82: kernel is booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM
83: is the media to install from. Do the following at the shell prompt:
84: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.sub
85: /{_filesystem/s//{_fstype/
86: wq
87: <b>#</b>
88: </pre>
89: For architectures where the install scripts start automatically
90: (like amiga), you need to abort it at the (I)nstall or (U)pdate
91: prompt by pressing Ctrl-C before doing the above command. After
92: that you can restart the install by:
93: <pre><b>#</b> install
94: </pre>
95: </ul>
96: <br>
1.60 ! deraadt 97: <h3><font color="#e00000">alpha</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 98: <ul>
99: <li>CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
100: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
101: harder..
102: </ul>
103: <br>
1.31 henning 104: <h3><font color="#e00000">i386</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 105: <ul>
1.17 jsyn 106: <li>Some rarer PC BIOSs do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
1.1 deraadt 107: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
108: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
109: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
110: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
111: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.
112: <li>The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
113: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:<br>
114: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>
115: MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0<br>
116: MD5 (X33ps.tgz) = ea49fc1b12c17fc16ece7d0e4ad4ee06<br>
117: MD5 (RELNOTES) = 689fda20596a4eb82f86ded51efb01f4<br>
118: <li>A lot of people with IDE disk drives fail to read the
119: INSTALL.i386 document, and hence end up with geometry translation
120: problems. Read the document, please.
121: </ul>
122: <br>
1.60 ! deraadt 123: <h3><font color="#e00000">amiga</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 124: <ul>
125: <li>The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
126: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
127: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single
128: user mode and do:
129: <pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
130: <b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
131: </pre>
132: </ul>
1.60 ! deraadt 133: <h3><font color="#e00000">sparc</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 134: <ul>
135: <li>The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
136: due to X11R6.3's default config file contents. To fix, su and
137: type:
138: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr
139: <b>#</b> ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3
140: </pre>
141: <li>The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
142: "dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around
143: first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
144: again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
145: <li>When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
146: may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
147: to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs
148: create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
149: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
150: <b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
151: <b>#</b> mv newboot boot
152: </pre>
153: <li>The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
154: and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
155: then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
156: following sequence of commands before starting the install
157: script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
158: booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
159: the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
160: prompt:
161: if you install from CD-ROM do the following:
1.56 deraadt 162: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
163: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd/
164: wq
1.1 deraadt 165: <b>#</b>
166: </pre>
167: ... or if you plan to use the bsd.scsi3 kernel you should use instead:
1.56 deraadt 168: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
169: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
170: wq
1.1 deraadt 171: <b>#</b>
172: </pre>
173: The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
1.27 david 174: installing from CD-ROM)
1.56 deraadt 175: <pre><b>#</b> ed /usr/mdec/binstall
176: /getopt/,/getopt/+4d
177: wq
1.1 deraadt 178: <b>#</b>
179: </pre>
180: </ul>
1.60 ! deraadt 181: <h3><font color="#e00000">pmax</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 182: <ul>
183: <li> When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
184: errors like:
185: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
186: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
187: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
188: </pre>
189: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
190: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
191: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
1.16 miod 192: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. Once you have the
193: OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1, do the following:
1.1 deraadt 194: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
195: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
196: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
197: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
198: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
199: </pre>
200: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
201: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
202: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.
203: </ul>
204: <p>
1.60 ! deraadt 205: <h3><font color="#e00000">mac68k</font></h3>
1.1 deraadt 206: <ul>
207: <li>The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such as "file system read-only" on bootup.
208: To correct, boot to single-user mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog) and do the following:
209: <pre>
210: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
211: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
212: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
213: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
214: w
215: q
216: </pre>
1.56 deraadt 217: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
1.1 deraadt 218: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
219: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
220: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
221: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
222: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
223:
224: <li>The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
1.56 deraadt 225: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
1.1 deraadt 226: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
227: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
228: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
229: <pre>
230: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
231: </pre>
232: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
233: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
234: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
235: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
236: command without leading colon(s) like:
237: <pre>
238: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
239: </pre>
240: Good luck.
