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

101: <font color="#009000"><strong>CD RELEASE WORKAROUND</strong></font>
102: <i>alpha only</i><br>
103: CD2 does not boot on the alpha, as had been planned. Instead, you
104: must use the floppy install method. This is not significantly
105: harder..
106: <p>
107: <li>
108: <font color="#009000"><strong>BOOT BLOCK BUG</strong></font>
109: <i>i386 only</i><br>
110: Some rarer PC BIOSs do not like the hardrive bootblocks when used
1.1 deraadt 111: as a MBR. The symptom is that the BIOS says "READ ERROR" when booting,
112: but everything suggests it should work fine. In those cases, it is
113: sufficient to install OS-BS or some other primary bootloader as the main
114: MBR, then install OpenBSD in a partition all by itself starting at a
115: non-zero offset. For instance, start OpenBSD at next track boundary or so.
1.61 deraadt 116: <p>
117: <li>
118: <font color="#009000"><strong>WRONG CHECKSUMS</strong></font>
119: <i>i386 only</i><br>
120: The i386/X11/SUMS.md5 file contains 4 incorrect MD5 checksums.
1.1 deraadt 121: These have been corrected on the ftp mirrors. The correct lines are:<br>
122: MD5 (X33doc.tgz) = 6aa0be7987f9a3cf32a63b5ea9a83b39<br>
123: MD5 (X33html.tgz) = 6ba39d41aef7c75c35a0533275c6f8c0<br>
124: MD5 (X33ps.tgz) = ea49fc1b12c17fc16ece7d0e4ad4ee06<br>
125: MD5 (RELNOTES) = 689fda20596a4eb82f86ded51efb01f4<br>
1.61 deraadt 126: <p>
127: A lot of people with IDE disk drives fail to read the
1.1 deraadt 128: INSTALL.i386 document, and hence end up with geometry translation
129: problems. Read the document, please.
1.61 deraadt 130: <p>
131: <li>
132: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
133: <i>amiga only</i><br>
134: The amiga install has a flaw wrt Tseng based graphic cards: when entering
135: multiuser mode the console won't get a login prompt. This is due to
136: a problem in the shipped /dev/MAKEDEV script. To fix, enter single
137: user mode and do:
1.1 deraadt 138: <pre><b>#</b> cd /dev
139: <b>#</b> sh MAKEDEV ttye6
140: </pre>

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

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

172: <li>
173: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
174: <i>sparc only</i><br>
175: The sparc install script has two flaws that make the kernel copy
176: and the bootblock install fail. The kernel copy only fails
177: then installing from CD-ROM. To workaround this use the
178: following sequence of commands before starting the install
179: script. This must be done each time the install kernel is
180: booted if the install script is to be run and the CD-ROM is
181: the media to install from. Do the following at the shell
182: prompt:
183: <p>
184: If you install from CD-ROM do the following:
1.56 deraadt 185: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
186: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd/
187: wq
1.1 deraadt 188: <b>#</b>
189: </pre>
190: ... or if you plan to use the bsd.scsi3 kernel you should use instead:
1.56 deraadt 191: <pre><b>#</b> ed install.md
192: /\/bsd/s//\/mnt2\/2.1\/sparc\/bsd.scsi3/
193: wq
1.1 deraadt 194: <b>#</b>
195: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 196: <p>
197: The following one you'll have to do always (not only then
198: installing from CD-ROM)
1.56 deraadt 199: <pre><b>#</b> ed /usr/mdec/binstall
200: /getopt/,/getopt/+4d
201: wq
1.1 deraadt 202: <b>#</b>
203: </pre>
1.61 deraadt 204: <p>
205: <li>
206: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
207: <i>pmax only</i><br>
208: When using the X11R6 binaries from the 2.1 release you will get
1.1 deraadt 209: errors like:
210: <pre><b>#</b> mkfontdir
211: mkfontdir: undefined symbol: 'astpending' 12
212: Segmentation fault (core dumped)
213: </pre>
214: this is due to a little problem affecting the compatibility between
215: the OpenBSD/arc port (on which the X11R6 clients were build) and
216: OpenBSD/pmax. You can work around this problem by using the arc
1.16 miod 217: version of the shared libc instead of the pmax one. Once you have the
218: OpenBSD/arc 2.1 libc.so.16.1, do the following:
1.1 deraadt 219: <pre><b>#</b> cd /usr/lib
220: <b>#</b> mv libc.so.16.1 original_libc.so.16.1
221: <b>#</b> cp /where_you_have_downloaded_it_to/libc.so.16.1 .
222: <b>#</b> chown root.bin libc.so.16.1
223: <b>#</b> chmod 444 libc.so.16.1
224: </pre>
225: Please be careful while doing this - because the libc is a very
226: sensitive part of the system. You can remove the original_libc.so.16.1
227: after the next reboot if everything is working fine.
228: <p>
1.61 deraadt 229: <li>
230: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
231: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
232: The installer generates incorrect /etc/fstab files causing messages such
233: as "file system read-only" on bootup. To correct, boot to single-user
234: mode (by clicking that checkbox in the Booter's Booting:Options dialog)
235: and do the following:
1.1 deraadt 236: <pre>
237: <b>#</b> mount /dev/sd0a /
238: <b>#</b> ed /etc/fstab
239: 1,$s/ ufs / ffs /
240: 1,$s/ ro / rw /
241: w
242: q
243: </pre>
1.56 deraadt 244: Alternately, simply invoke vi or another editor and change the root filesystem
1.1 deraadt 245: to be of type ffs rather than ufs and be rw (read-write) rather than ro
246: (read-only). In either case, you'll need to reboot the system afterwards.
247: Make this correction as soon as possible after installing the system.
248: The installer should not have specified the filesystem as the old
249: "ufs" type; the "ffs" type is more correct.
1.61 deraadt 250: <p>
251: <li>
252: <font color="#009000"><strong>RELEASE BUG</strong></font>
253: <i>mac68k only</i><br>
254: The installer forgets to install the kernel onto the filesystem.
1.56 deraadt 255: This is because the installer expects all packages including the kernel to
1.1 deraadt 256: be tar'ed and gzip'ed. The kernel was not shipped that way. Therefore, you
257: must make this correction <em>before attempting to boot the system</em>.
258: To correct, use the Installer mini-shell and do the following:
259: <pre>
260: > cpin :[internal-macos-path]:bsd-generic bsd
261: </pre>
262: This should place the kernel as /bsd on the filesystem. You should
263: replace the above string with the colon-delimited path from your desktop to
264: wherever you have placed the kernel. If possible, it is easiest to drag the
265: kernel into the same folder as the Installer, so you can simply issue a
266: command without leading colon(s) like:
267: <pre>
268: > cpin bsd-generic bsd
269: </pre>
