! 79: <font color="#009000"><strong>CD RELEASE WORKAROUND</strong></font>
! 80: <i>All architectures</i><br>
! 81: One of the install scripts has a flaw that makes the CD-ROM mount fail
! 82: when using the CD-ROM as the install source media.
! 83: To workaround this use the following sequence of commands before
! 84: starting the install script. This must be done each time the install
! 85: kernel is booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM
! 86: is the media to install from. Do the following at the shell prompt:
1.1 deraadt 87: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.sub
88: /{_filesystem/s//{_fstype/
89: wq
90: <b>#</b>
91: </pre>
92: For architectures where the install scripts start automatically
93: (like amiga), you need to abort it at the (I)nstall or (U)pdate
94: prompt by pressing Ctrl-C before doing the above command. After
95: that you can restart the install by:
96: <pre><b>#</b> install
97: </pre>

! 100: <font color="#009000"><strong>CD RELEASE WORKAROUND</strong></font>
! 101: <i>alpha only</i><br>
! 102: CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
! 103: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
! 104: harder..
! 105: <p>
! 106: <li>
! 107: <font color="#009000"><strong>BOOT BLOCK BUG</strong></font>
! 108: <i>i386 only</i><br>
! 109: Some rarer PC BIOSs do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
1.1 deraadt 110: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
111: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
112: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
113: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
114: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.
1.61 ! deraadt 115: <p>
! 116: <li>
! 117: <font color="#009000"><strong>WRONG CHECKSUMS</strong></font>
! 118: <i>i386 only</i><br>
! 119: The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
1.1 deraadt 120: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:<br>
121: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>
122: MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0<br>
123: MD5 (X33ps.tgz) = ea49fc1b12c17fc16ece7d0e4ad4ee06<br>
124: MD5 (RELNOTES) = 689fda20596a4eb82f86ded51efb01f4<br>
1.61 ! deraadt 125: <p>
! 126: A lot of people with IDE disk drives fail to read the
1.1 deraadt 127: INSTALL.i386 document, and hence end up with geometry translation
128: problems. Read the document, please.

! 130: <li>
! 131: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 132: <i>amiga only</i><br>
! 133: The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
! 134: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
! 135: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single
! 136: user mode and do:
1.1 deraadt 137: <pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
138: <b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
139: </pre>

! 142: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 143: <i>sparc only</i><br>
! 144: The sparc X11R6.3 xdm-config files reference /usr/X11R6.3/... This is
! 145: to X11R6.3's default config file contents. To fix, su and
! 146: type:
1.1 deraadt 147: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr
148: <b>#</b> ln -s X11R6 X11R6.3

! 151: <li>
! 152: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 153: <i>sparc only</i><br>
! 154: The sparc "single floppy install disk" has a problem when you specify
! 155: "dumb" in response to the terminal type query. As a work-around
! 156: first specify an invalid terminal such as "bogus" and when prompted
! 157: again for a terminal type, enter "dumb" and it will work correctly.
! 158: <p>
! 159: <li>
! 160: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 161: <i>sparc only</i><br>
! 162: When netbooting an older sparc system such as a Sun4 or Sun4c, the boot
! 163: may hang up at the end of the tftp transfer of the bootstrap due
! 164: to the tftp transfer working in 512-byte blocks. If this occurs
! 165: create a "padded" version of the bootstrap (boot or zboot) as follows:
1.1 deraadt 166: <pre><b>#</b> cd /tftpboot
167: <b>#</b> dd if=boot of=newboot obs=512 conv=osync
168: <b>#</b> mv newboot boot

! 171: <li>
! 172: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 173: <i>sparc only</i><br>
! 174: The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
! 175: and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
! 176: then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
! 177: following sequence of commands before starting the install
! 178: script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
! 179: booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
! 180: the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
! 181: prompt:
! 182: <p>
! 183: If you install from CD-ROM do the following:
1.56 deraadt 184: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
185: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd/
186: wq
1.1 deraadt 187: <b>#</b>
188: </pre>
189: ... or if you plan to use the bsd.scsi3 kernel you should use instead:
1.56 deraadt 190: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
191: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
192: wq
1.1 deraadt 193: <b>#</b>
194: </pre>
1.61 ! deraadt 195: <p>
! 196: The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
! 197: installing from CD-ROM)
1.56 deraadt 198: <pre><b>#</b> ed /usr/mdec/binstall
199: /getopt/,/getopt/+4d
200: wq
1.1 deraadt 201: <b>#</b>
202: </pre>
1.61 ! deraadt 203: <p>
! 204: <li>
! 205: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 206: <i>pmax only</i><br>
! 207: When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
1.1 deraadt 208: errors like:
209: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
210: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
211: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
212: </pre>
213: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
214: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
215: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
1.16 miod 216: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. Once you have the
217: OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1, do the following:
1.1 deraadt 218: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
219: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
220: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
221: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
222: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
223: </pre>
224: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
225: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
226: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.

1.61 ! deraadt 228: <li>
! 229: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 230: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
! 231: The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such
! 232: as "file system read-only" on bootup. To correct, boot to single-user
! 233: mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog)
! 234: and do the following:
1.1 deraadt 235: <pre>
236: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
237: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
238: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
239: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
240: w
241: q
242: </pre>
1.56 deraadt 243: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
1.1 deraadt 244: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
245: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
246: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
247: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
248: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
1.61 ! deraadt 249: <p>
! 250: <li>
! 251: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
! 252: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
! 253: The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
1.56 deraadt 254: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
1.1 deraadt 255: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
256: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
257: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
258: <pre>
259: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
260: </pre>
261: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
262: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
263: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
264: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
265: command without leading colon(s) like:
266: <pre>
267: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
268: </pre>
